About Us
Who We Are
Community Medical Centers provide health care to the community’s
poor and medically underserved. For more than 35 years, CMC had
brought doctors, basic health services and medical facilities into the
community to serve those who need us the most. CMC’s Health Centers
serve the working poor, the uninsured, farm workers, homeless persons
and other vulnerable populations.
Today, in a three-county service area, CMC serves more than 52,000
patients with more than 175,000 patient visits annually. CMC is one of
the largest safety net providers of health care in its service area.
More than half of CMC’s patients have their health care paid for by Medi-Cal. More than 30% are uninsured and pay for their health care on
a sliding fee scale basis. CMC patients speak many different
languages. May have limited education and inadequate housing, and 2
out of 3 have income levels of less than 200% poverty.
While so many health care organizations struggle to survive, CMC
through community support and dedicated physicians and staff, has been
able to continue providing access to preventive and primary health
services regardless of a person’s ability to pay. |
