Hawaiian Gardens is the smallest city in Los Angeles County by land area — barely a square mile in the southeast corner of the county, bordered by Long Beach, Lakewood, Cypress, and Cerritos. It's a dense, young, and largely Latino community of about 14,000 with a diabetes rate around 12% — well above the state average — and modest household incomes, and those realities define what our clinicians treat here: diabetic foot ulcers are by far the most common referral, along with venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and post-surgical wounds. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners visit patients throughout the compact city: the residential blocks of North Hawaiian Gardens, the neighborhoods of South Hawaiian Gardens, and the streets off the Carson Street and Norwalk Boulevard corridors. Hawaiian Gardens is a tightly packed city of small homes, apartments, and multi-generational households where most working-age adults are employed during the day. For a family caring for a diabetic parent, the logistics of a weekly outpatient wound clinic appointment — arranging a ride, taking time off work, sitting in a waiting room — are often the reason care lapses and a foot ulcer that should be closing instead deteriorates. We remove that barrier by bringing the physician into the living room. Hawaiian Gardens is a predominantly Spanish-speaking community, and clear communication is central to keeping a diabetic foot on a healing trajectory. Our coordination team arranges interpreter support when scheduling so offloading instructions, dressing-change steps, and infection warning signs are understood by the patient and the family members who change the dressings between our visits — the details that decide whether a limb is preserved. Hawaiian Gardens has no hospital within its small footprint, so we coordinate with the surrounding hospitals — Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, Lakewood Regional Medical Center, and Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. We work with their discharge planning teams so patients leaving with a surgical wound, pressure injury, or diabetic ulcer transition to physician-led care at home without a gap, and wound measurements, photographs, and notes go back to the discharging team and the patient's primary care physician after every visit. Visits are typically covered under Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, and most commercial plans, and our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7.
