Salud Family Health

About Us

Salud is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and nonprofit organization dedicated to serving low-income and medically underserved populations across multiple communities. With 13 clinic locations, an administrative and training center, and a mobile unit, Salud delivers integrated medical, dental, pharmacy, and behavioral health services designed to ensure comprehensive care access for all patients.

As an HRSA-funded organization, Salud maintains a patient-consumer Board of Directors that gives patients direct input into care delivery and organizational decisions. The organization is deeply committed to serving vulnerable populations, with particular focus on engaging migrant and seasonal farmworker communities who often face significant barriers to healthcare.

Salud accepts Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and most private insurance plans. For uninsured and underinsured patients, the organization offers a sliding fee scale based on family size and income, along with insurance enrollment assistance to help patients identify and access appropriate coverage. This approach to financial accessibility removes economic barriers and ensures all community members can access the care they need.
