Mission

Our mission is to improve the health of our community through quality healing and preventive services.

Needs

Over the last 20 years, El Dorado Community Health Center has made great strides in establishing access to preventative healthcare to our vulnerable population in the county. The center currently serves nearly 12,000 patients which includes those with private insurance, Medicare, and Medi-Cal as well as those who are without insurance. Access to care is impacted by site capacity and has increased health center locations which causes disconnection in services for patients. Patients need a true health home by creating a center with integrated services.

Our newest center opened in 2022 located on Missouri Flat Road, in Placerville, CA. The center is fully functioning preventive care services with accessibility to public transportation. Our vision in 2023 is to bring expanded health care services in one central location for our patient population who many times lack the ability to travel long distances in the County. These services include primary care, behavioral health, pharmacy, dental, and community services in one location to serve all of El Dorado County.

Without El Dorado Community health center many chronic illnesses would continue to go undiagnosed until emergency treatment is needed. Patients build trust with established providers and familiar faces. EDCHC provides that stability for patients. With your support you can help us build a medical home for everyone without regard to inability to pay.
