Adventist Health White Memorial Medical Center
Dr. Flores is a founding member of the Adventist Health White Memorial (AHWM) Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program in Los Angeles. The residency program was established in 1988 with the purpose of providing a high-quality education to prepare physicians and physician assistants/nurse practitioners for practice in healthcare shortage areas and to contribute to diversity in the health professions. Dr. Flores also serves as Chairman of the AHWM Department of Family Medicine.
Dr. Flores is the Medical Director of the Family Care Specialists (FCS) Medical Group and the FCS Independent Physician Association (IPA), which collectively serve approximately 30,000 Medi-Cal, Medicare, and commercial coverage beneficiaries, including 6 percent who are uninsured. The FCS Medical Group is dedicated to improving the health status of its patients, their families, and the entire community by using culturally and linguistically competent services and by deploying performance standards that reduce or eliminate health disparities.
Dr. Flores and his colleagues at FCS continue to pursue vertical integration of their delivery system using the patient-centered medical home for the group with the FCS IPA and Adventist Health White Memorial through HMO contracts. Similarly, they established a partnership with the Aledade Accountable Care Organization for fee-for-service Medicare and commercial PPO/EPO plans. Their most recent affiliation is with Altais Clinical Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Shield of California.
