Today, our unique full-scope and team-based approach makes SAC Health the provider of choice for patients. Every year, we complete over 180,000 visits and offer 35 specialties providing medical, surgical, dental, and behavioral health services for the families of the Inland Empire and surrounding counties.

The Story From Inception to Impact

Transforming lives with exceptional healthcare through Christ's hope and healing.

Our Vision

Education

SAC Health is the largest specialty-based and teaching health center (THC) FQHC in the nation. Consistent with our mission and values, we provide over 900+ medical residents and students from Loma Linda University a unique opportunity to serve our most vulnerable population which will allow them to continue to be leaders in our community.

Healthcare

SAC Health is recognized as a Level-3 Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). All our physicians are affiliated with Loma Linda University Health, allowing our patients to receive world-class care from providers trained in over 35 different specialties. Our unique model of care allows patients to see integrated behavioral health, dieticians, clinical pharmacists, social workers, and even a chaplain all within the same office visit if needed. This whole-person, full-scope, team-based approach is what makes SAC Health the provider of choice for patients.

Underserved populations require an array of supports that extend beyond our work, and we know that we cannot achieve our mission on our own. Our success is built on building strong partnerships with more than 100 community partners and leveraging the expertise of partner organizations to ensure we provide our patients with whole-person care.
