In Mid-2008, SYHC and NMA Comprehensive Health Centers joined forces to improve health services for residents of the Central Region. SYHC-CHC’s patient population consists of 67,000 South County and Central Region residents. Each year, the health center generates approximately 220,000 service encounters in the areas of primary care, oral health and behavioral health services. San Ysidro Health Center's patient population consists primarily of uninsured and traditionally underserved area residents.

To further address the unmet health service needs of our community, SYHC is now exploring feasibility of adult day health, and adolescent health services.
