Our Start
Barbour & Floyd Medical Associates was founded by two African American psychiatrists (Dr. Jack Barbour & Dr. Reta Floyd). It is being funded as one of the original six Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) agencies in 1993. This program was named PARTNERS. In 2003, the PARTNERS program transitioned to provide a managed care and integrated approach to mental health services under the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model of service provision. Beginning fiscal year (FY08-09) Barbour & Floyd Medical Associates had the opportunity to transform a portion of their services to MHSA – FCCS services for adult and older adult populations.
The Barbour & Floyd Medical Associates Medi-Cal certified program site is located at 2640 Industry Way, Suite B, Lynwood CA. 90262. Because there is consistency between the culture of the staff and the member population, cultural discrepancies are minimized. The members are able to bond with the staff, the program and the other members based on their cultural similarities. All aspects of service delivery reflect the values of the African American and Latino communities. Barbour & Floyd Medical Associates is culturally consistent and realizes the importance of involving families in the planning and delivery of services.
