It’s become more clear than ever that gaps in healthcare access affect not just the individuals that are overlooked, but the population at large. During this COVID-19 crisis we must ensure that everyone has access to testing, information, and healthcare to prevent the spread of the virus. Started in a three-car garage, today Virginia Garcia MHC provides healthcare services to 52,000 patients a year at five primary care clinics and pharmacies, six dental clinics, a women’s clinic, and five school-based health centers, as well as outreach to schools and to migrant and seasonal farmworkers at local camps via a mobile clinic. December 2020, we will match your donations to Virginia Garcia MHC.
