Patient-Centered Medical Home

Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD) is an accredited Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the Joint Commission and the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), organizations dedicated to enhancing health care quality and safety.

At a PCMH, patients receive quality care through a direct and long-term relationship with their chosen provider and health care team. This team is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs and values, ensuring all clinical decisions are guided by these principles. Patients, and their families, also receive support to become engaged in healthy behaviors.

Everyone at FHCSD—from clinicians to receptionists—plays a role in creating a PCMH that supports whole-person care and improves access, self-care and care coordination within and outside FHCSD.

Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization rich in history and tradition. In 1911, the San Diego Industrial School was built on the site where our first clinic now stands. This school was originally a settlement house that provided Barrio Logan's immigrant residents with social services. The community grew around this location, and by 1940, Barrio Logan had become one of the largest Mexican-American communities on the West Coast.

In 1970, Laura Rodriguez and a group of community members sought to bring much-needed medical services to Barrio Logan. They took over the building and, after eight days of occupation, succeeded in negotiations with the City of San Diego and the community. This led to the gifting of the building to the community of Barrio Logan and the establishment of the Chicano Free Clinic. Medical care delivery began two evenings a week, and the health center saw approximately 150 patients each month.

This building eventually became Logan Heights Family Health Center, the flagship clinic of Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD). FHCSD has since transformed into the tenth largest health centers in the country, providing care to over 215,000 patients each year, of whom 91% are low income and 29% are uninsured.
