Patients

Services are provided primarily to individuals who live within a five-mile radius of the Medical Center, though patients are so pleased with the services that they voluntarily travel great distances once care has been established.

The Clinic services a diverse ethnic population.

Approximately 79% of patients are Spanish speaking, 10% are African American, 8% are Caucasian, and 3% are Asian. Teens make up 11% of the clientele. More than 95% of the patients have incomes 100% below the federal poverty line and are therefore eligible for subsidized services.

Staff pays special attention to addressing the unique medical needs of individuals completing drug recovery programs, those residing in local homeless shelters, as well as patients with physical and mental disabilities that limit access to information and care.

Services are free for those who qualify for the California state program, Family PACT. Eligibility is based on an individual's income, family size, medical insurance status (none or minimal coverage), California residency, and reproductive ability.
