About United Health Centers

Mission: We are committed to the lifetime wellness of our communities by providing accessible, comprehensive quality health care to everyone with compassion and respect, regardless of ability to pay. United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley is a private non-profit organization, incorporated in January 1971, whose purpose is to provide comprehensive medical, dental and community health services to the medically underserved in the central San Joaquin Valley. We are licensed by the State of California as a community health center, and the Federal and State governments designated us as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The United Health Centers service area is located in the heart of California in the Central San Joaquin Valley. The San Joaquin Valley is considered the richest agricultural area in the United States. The agricultural economy of the San Joaquin Valley depends heavily on a farm labor force which is made up primarily of local agricultural and farm workers. During the peak harvest season migrant workers from throughout the Southwestern United States come to assist in the harvesting of a variety of fruits and vegetables. The area is considered the highest migrant impact area in the County.
