L.A. Care Spotlights Community Health Leaders in Southern California

L.A. Care Health Plan has recently highlighted the contributions of the award-winning Dr. Janesri De Silva and her organization, Kids & Teens Medical Group, along with Serendib Healthways. With a total of 23 locations across Southern California, these medical groups are committed to providing exceptional healthcare for children and adolescents.

Community Connections and Commitment

Dr. De Silva, who leads the Kids & Teens Medical Group, has developed a profound connection with the local community. Her dedication to healthcare extends beyond traditional practices; she emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique needs of her patients. Each day, she finds renewed motivation in her work, driven by the positive impact her team has on families’ lives.

“Our team believes in treating not just the symptoms but the entire patient,” Dr. De Silva stated. Her approach, which combines medical expertise with compassion, reflects a growing trend in healthcare that prioritizes patient relationships.

A Model for Patient-Centric Care

The recognition by L.A. Care serves to emphasize the model of patient-centric care that De Silva and her colleagues embody. This award not only celebrates their achievements but also inspires other healthcare providers to enhance their focus on individual patient needs.

In particular, the Kids & Teens Medical Group has made strides in addressing mental health issues among young patients, an area that has gained increasing attention in recent years. The integration of mental wellness into primary care for children and teenagers is viewed as essential for holistic health.

With the support of L.A. Care Health Plan, these initiatives are expected to expand, further enhancing their capacity to serve families in Southern California. The collaboration between L.A. Care and local healthcare providers underscores the importance of community engagement in improving health outcomes.

As healthcare continues to evolve, Dr. De Silva and her team remain committed to leading the way in innovative, patient-focused solutions that address the needs of the community they serve.
