Ensuring Medi-Cal Expansion Access for Undocumented Adults in California

Join the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute and The California Endowment on Thursday, November 16th, for a webinar to discuss the challenges undocumented adults in California face in accessing health care. The panel will focus on recent research from UCLA LPPI that highlights continued barriers to health care access for immigrants, despite the state’s Medi-Cal expansion efforts.

This conversation with Latino public health leaders will discuss current obstacles and strategies designed to be effective practices for service providers. From enhancing knowledge about the enrollment process to exploring sustainable solutions, the goal of this panel is to discuss a path towards a more inclusive and accessible Medi-Cal program, one that caters to the diverse health care needs of all Californians.

Panelists include:

  • Dr. Arturo Vargas Bustamante, UCLA LPPI Faculty Director of Research
  • Berenice Nuñez Constant, AltaMed’s Vice President of Government Relations
  • Sarah Dar, California Immigrant Policy Center’s Policy Director
  • Anthony Wright, Health Access California’s Executive Director
  • Lucia Félix Beltrán, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health Researcher
