Salud is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating 13 clinic locations, an administrative and training site, and a mobile unit. We provide integrated medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health care services to the communities we serve.

As an FQHC, Salud is governed by a patient-consumer Board of Directors, ensuring that patients have a direct voice in how healthcare services are delivered. We receive operational funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support our mission and expand access to care.

Who We Serve

We focus on serving low-income and medically underserved populations, with particular commitment to migrant and seasonal farmworker communities. Salud Family Health accepts Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and most private insurance plans. We also offer a sliding fee scale based on family size and income, and provide insurance enrollment assistance to help patients access coverage.
