Our History
Founded in 1970, East Valley Community Health Center, Inc. (East Valley) has evolved from a free clinic that focused on family planning and counseling services into a comprehensive health care provider and, since 2002, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Via its two clinics in West Covina and Pomona, East Valley provides over 59,000 medical visits to more than 21,000 individuals every year. East Valley also serves an additional 20,000 people every year with outreach, education, and prevention services. Our service area is a large, diverse, complex and rapidly changing geographic area that is home to over 500,000 people and faces significant challenges in chronic disease, including diabetes, hypertension and asthma. The majority of our patients are the working poor, and 90% are uninsured. East Valley holds public and private contracts with many funding sources, which allow us to provide medical services at very low cost to qualifying individuals. East Valley is also affiliated with two local IPAs and holds managed care contracts with most Health Plans operating in California. Fees for our services are on a sliding scale, but no one is turned away because of inability to pay. East Valley accepts all public health insurance, such as MediCal (also known as Medicaid), Medicare, and Healthy Families (also known as SHIP), as well as private health insurance such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, among others. Most importantly, if you or your family are not covered by any health insurance plan, East Valley will provide services to you according to your ability to pay.
East Valley is a medical home for people who cannot be seen or cared for anywhere else. Keywords: health, care, doctor, doctors, new, medical, hospitals «
