Groups To Extend Homeless Patient Placement Program

Next month, the National Health Foundation and the Illumination Foundation will expand to Los Angeles County a program that places homeless patients discharged from hospitals into recuperative care "pods." The program has been successful in Orange County and will receive a $50,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente. Officials also expect to receive $100,000 in funding from the California Endowment.
