 The Alameda Health Consortium comprises eight community health centers that operate nearly 35 clinic sites in Alameda County. Our eight member clinics each have a rich history of providing health care to Alameda County since the establishment of community-based health clinics/centers in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite their variety, there is one thing all of our clinics have in common; the provision of quality health care to those who need it. Our clinics serve diverse populations ranging from African Americans, Asian Pacific Islanders, Latinos, Native Americans, to seniors, immigrants, and the homeless.
Our member health centers are: Asian Health Services, Axis Community Health, La Clinica de La Raza, LifeLong Medical Care, Native American Health Center, Tiburcio Vasquez Health Center, Tri-City Health Center, and West Oakland Health Center.
Together these clinics serve over 100,000 people throughout Alameda County. The large majority of patients our clinics serve are low-income and uninsured. As health care “safety-net“ providers, Consortium health centers serve patients without regard for the patient's ability to pay. The Consortium health centers provides a wide a range of services including: primary care, pre-natal care, dental services, HIV support services, behavioral health services, health education, and social services support.
