The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) is the second-largest municipal health system in the nation. Through its unified system of 23 health centers and four hospitals, as well as its expanded network of community partner clinics, DHS annually provides direct care to over 500,000 patients, employs more than 23,000 staff, and has an annual budget exceeding $8.4 billion.

In addition, to its direct clinical services, DHS also runs the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency and the County's 911 emergency response system, as well as Housing for Health and the Office of Diversion and Re-entry, each with a critical role in connecting vulnerable populations, including those released from correctional and institutional settings, to supportive housing.
