Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

UMMA’s designated four strategic goals are to:

Goal 1: Expand health and wellness in South Los Angeles (South LA).

Goal 2: Strengthen UMMA’s organizational capacity and provide greater flexibility for UMMA to serve the community.

Goal 3: Create and implement a marketing and communications plan to increase awareness of UMMA and what it provides.

Goal 4: Create a robust community relations program to increase outreach and funding opportunities.

Guided by our strategic plan, our staff will embark on need assessments, mapping workflows, testing new technology, drafting procedures, mining data, and crafting detailed work plans, in order to ensure the success of these goals. Benchmarks will be determined, and progress will be regularly measured and reported. UMMA views the social determinants of health all interrelated and its own work as part of a larger push towards systemic health equity.

We have a highly committed and motivated board and staff.

1) UMMA is proud of our recognition as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This designation reflects our commitment to increasing access to care for our community.
2) In October 2020, UMMA was recognized by Assembly member Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, Sr. as the 2020 California Nonprofit of the Year for the 59th Assembly District for our commitment to increasing access to high-quality healthcare and addressing critical social needs in South LA.
