Astrana Health, Inc., a provider-centric, technology-powered healthcare company enabling providers to deliver accessible, high-quality, and high-value care to all," Anthem Blue Cross, and Allied Pacific IPA, part of Astrana Health, an independent physician association serving the California community since 1992, have announced a new partnership aimed at improving access to high-quality healthcare for their shared members.


"We are excited about this partnership, which opens a new channel of access for delivering high-quality care to Anthem Blue Cross's members, starting with the Gateway Cities of Los Angeles," said Brandon Sim, President and CEO of Astrana Health.

This partnership underscores both organizations' commitment to increasing access to care by addressing social and health inequities in communities that they serve.

In conjunction with the announcement of this partnership, Astrana and Anthem Blue Cross have opened their first collaborative care clinic located at 11236 Whittier Blvd in Whittier to serve residents of Whittier and the surrounding area. The new Astrana Care and Anthem Blue Cross facility, which will exclusively serve Anthem Blue Cross and Allied Pacific IPA members with an HMO health insurance plan, is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and offers a wide range of services, with a focus on comprehensive health assessments, preventive care, and chronic disease management. Designed with patient comfort and accessibility in mind, the inaugural collaborative clinic aims to provide exceptional care and a superior consumer experience.



"We are excited about this partnership, which opens a new channel of access for delivering high-quality care to Anthem Blue Cross's members, starting with the Gateway Cities of Los Angeles," said Brandon Sim, President and CEO of Astrana Health. "Today's announcement represents not only our commitment to accessible, high-quality healthcare, but also our dedication and investment in the well-being of the communities we serve.

This collaboration with Astrana Health will address crucial health needs while ensuring our members receive top-tier care in their local community," said Beth Andersen, President Anthem Blue Cross Commercial Health Plans.
