Solis Presents $500,000 Measure B Check to Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital
Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis presents a $500,000 check to the leadership and staff of Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital, alongside members of the San Gabriel Valley community.
San Gabriel Valley, Calif. – Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis presented Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital with a $500,000 Measure B check to support the hospital’s emergency department, including critical services and a planned expansion.
The funding comes as hospitals across Los Angeles County face mounting financial pressure driven by federal policy changes that threaten the stability of health care providers and access to care.
“Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital plays a vital role in providing emergency and lifesaving care to families, seniors and working people throughout the San Gabriel Valley,” said Chair Solis. “This investment helps protect those services and ensures residents can continue to rely on the care they need, when they need it most.”
The allocation will help address immediate fiscal challenges at the hospital, which serves residents in Baldwin Park, Industry, La Puente, and West Covina, as well as the unincorporated communities of Avocado Heights, Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights, and West Puente Valley.
“Nearly one million people in the San Gabriel Valley depend on Emanate Health for emergency and critical health care services,” said Emanate Health President & CEO Roger Sharma. “We thank Supervisor Solis for presenting us with this Measure B check, which will support our efforts to expand these services for the people we serve. Once our new ED/ICU is opened in 2026, we will be able to meet the growing health care needs of our community for years to come.”
Measure B, approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2002, is a special parcel tax that funds emergency and trauma care, bioterrorism preparedness and other essential public health programs. The revenue supports fire departments, hospitals, trauma centers and emergency medical providers in maintaining lifesaving services throughout the County.
In July 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved a recommendation from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to distribute $20 million in one-time, unallocated Measure B funds. The funds were divided evenly among the County’s five supervisorial districts to address urgent local health care needs amid growing financial uncertainty.
The Measure B investment comes amid broader federal policy changes affecting health care funding and coverage. H.R. 1 includes nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid reductions and new work requirements that could affect coverage for up to 3.5 million Californians. In addition, Affordable Care Act subsidies were not extended, a change that may affect insurance coverage for tens of thousands of Los Angeles County residents.
