The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) announced it will consolidate and end clinic services at seven Public Health Clinic locations effective February 27, 2026, citing significant fiscal challenges stemming from more than $50 million in cuts to federal, state, and local funding.
Public Health Clinics provide essential services including:
- Vaccinations
- Sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment
- Tuberculosis (TB) testing and treatment
According to the Department, services will continue at six remaining Public Health Clinics as well as through nearby community health clinics.

Statement from Public Health Leadership
Statement from Public Health Leadership
Dr. Barbara Ferrer, Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, stated:
“Public Health is facing serious funding challenges that are reducing our ability to continue all existing programs and forcing the closure of several Public Health clinics. Fortunately, investments over the last decade have increased the availability of community health care providers offering comprehensive health services. While public health clinics offer important services and the closures are deeply upsetting, underscoring the real consequences of disinvestment in public health, clinic patients will be connected to appropriate services that meet their needs. We are working closely with community-based organizations and clinical partners to ensure a smooth transition.”
What This Means for Residents
Residents currently receiving services at affected clinics are expected to be connected with:
- Remaining Public Health Clinic locations
- Community-based health providers
- Other regional clinical partners
The Department indicates it is coordinating transitions to minimize care disruptions.
