School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County

What School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County does

School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health organization founded in 1986, operating five neighborhood health clinics co-located on public school campuses in San José and Gilroy, California. The organization delivers integrated primary care, behavioral health, reproductive health, immunizations, well-child checkups, chronic disease management, and COVID-19 testing and treatment to more than 4,500-4,800 low-income and medically underserved individuals annually, regardless of insurance or immigration status. Patient demographics span children, adolescents, and adults, with some sites serving ages 0-24 and others serving all ages after recent service-line expansions.

The business model is reimbursement-driven with a charitable overlay. Clinical revenue is generated primarily through Medi-Cal, Medicare, Santa Clara Family Health Plan, the Primary Care Access Program (PCAP), and California Family PACT, supplemented by a sliding-scale self-pay option adjusted for family size and income. Because no patient is turned away for inability to pay, the organization depends materially on donations, corporate sponsorships, matching gift programs, and charitable contributions to close the gap between reimbursement and cost. Free in-person and telephonic enrollment assistance for Medi-Cal, Medicare, and PCAP functions as both a community service and a payer-mix stabilization lever.

Operationally, the organization runs with a headcount of 11-50, concentrated at five fixed sites, and is governed by a community-involved Board of Directors actively recruiting patient and patient-family members. Technology infrastructure is anchored by the OCHIN-powered MyChart patient portal, available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese, supporting scheduling, record access, and care-team communication. Specialty care beyond primary scope is referred through a core partnership with Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVMC). Financials are not publicly disclosed; revenue figures would be available through Form 990 filings.
