Mia Laake
Director of Recuperative Care
Mia Laake is deeply devoted to helping the vulnerable homeless population and is driven by a desire to make a genuine difference in their lives. Fueled by her perseverance and enthusiasm, Mia never shies away from taking on new challenges or confronting difficult issues that will ultimately make a positive impact in someone’s life.
Over the course of the last nine years, Mia has partnered with major insurance companies such as IEHP, Molina, and Kaiser to provide members with a compassionate, comprehensive, and safe environment to recover from circumstances that previously prevented them from safety and stability.
She leads her team to overcome barriers that contribute to medical vulnerability and the lack of appropriate housing. Mia has shaped healthcare and housing approaches across Southern California, primarily serving the communities in the Inland Empire. She solves complex problems in Recuperative Care by using innovative and client-centered solutions to achieve long-lasting impact.
Mia's journey from London, England to California was motivated by her desire for new experiences and opportunities. In London, Mia studied Healthcare Sciences at William Morris Academy, and then set off to Roehampton University to obtain a master's degree in health and social care. Mia is committed to continually expanding her expertise and providing excellent care to those in need.
When not at work, Mia enjoys fishing alongside both her husband and brother. She is an ardent traveler who collects fridge magnets for every memorable trip. She finds tranquility in gardening and spends her free time with her two ducks, Drake and Duck, her turtles, Shellby and Shelldon, and her dog, Buddy, all of whom bring her joy and companionship.
