As a local plan, Community Health Group lives in the same communities as their members and understands those communities’ unique needs. They are dedicated to serving diverse populations, and their workforce is a reflection of the diversity of their members. Their large network of community hospitals, physicians and other contracted providers offers access to quality care that demonstrates respect for and understanding of members’ linguistic, social, and cultural diversity, as well as their holistic needs.
In Community Health Group’s nearly 44 years of service and leadership within the community, they have developed deep and long-standing partnerships with regional and community-based organizations throughout San Diego. They have also built close relationships with their partners, including providers, hospitals, and key stakeholders. These partnerships have shown the plan both the existing community assets and the challenges for change.
Community Health Group recognizes the need for a flexible, collaborative approach to improve and transform systems of care. Their collaborative partnerships and leadership role, enabled by their locally based, not-for-profit governance structure, reflect their mission, culture, and capabilities, all of which are foundational to providing exceptional service and access to quality care for members.
