After dealing with a persistent cough and diarrhea and cycling through various over-the-counter medications, Lincoln Heights resident Javier Muniz finally went to urgent care at the L.A. County-USC Medical Center last month.
L.A. General is one of the largest public hospitals in the U.S. and historically has treated medically underserved patients in the region. On average, the program has saved about three hospital days per patient, compared with the typical stay of around five days. “When I’m hospitalized, I get stressed out,” he said. “It makes me just want to leave. It’s scary trying to figure out what’s wrong with oneself and waiting in a room isolated. It’s just not comfortable. Being hospitalized you’re also away from family and friends, and the restrictions on visits make it hard to stay connected to your loved ones.”
The program also arranges transportation if needed for patients to their homes or to temporary housing, such as the hospital’s Restorative Care Village, which shelters housing-insecure people who may need a place to recover after receiving medical care, according to Josh Banerjee, associate medical director for the Transitions of Care department at the hospital.
