Our mission is to strengthen the healthcare safety net and optimize seamless access to high quality physical and behavioral health in the Greater San Gabriel Valley.
History of the Consortium:

- Steering Committee has met monthly or bi-monthly ever since.
- 2005-2010 initiated and implemented a collaborative Retinal Telemedicine program to screen for diabetic retinopathy among clinic patients from across the SPA.
