Our commitment to community health compels us to look beyond the walls of our offices and clinics and see not just patients, but new possibilities for community wellness.

This approach is helping us meet our ambitious goals. We are continually accredited by The Joint Commission (JCAHO), an organization that ensures quality standards in U.S. medical facilities. We’re the first community health network in the nation to have been designated as a Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH). We’re extremely proud of our achievements in patient satisfaction, with our highest scores accomplished during our period of greatest growth. We’ve expanded to 46 Southern California locations, offering primary medical, dental and senior care. We’re active in community outreach and education, and staffed by dedicated professionals committed to patient care. Continuously looking for ways to do more for more people, AltaMed is leading the industry in bringing new people into our nation's health care system as the top enroller for Covered California.
