Los Angeles County is divided into eight "Service Planning Areas" (SPA's) for health care planning purposes.  Each SPA has an Area Health Office that is responsible for planning public health and clinical services according to the health needs of local communities.  Some examples of healthcare planning activities include:
  • assessing health needs of local communities
  • providing services through Department of Health Services clinics and community partners
  • promoting health & preventing disease
  • collaborating with community groups to improve the health of SPA  residents

County public health care in each of these areas is coordinated by an "Area Health Officer" (AHO).  You can look at an overall map to find out to which SPA your community belongs.
