About Us
Bay Area Community Health was formed in 2020 off the strength of southern Alameda County’s Tri-City Health Center and Santa Clara County’s Foothill Community Health Center. Formed during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, Bay Area Community Health (BACH) brings more than 70 years of combined service to the area that stretched from Union City to Gilroy.
Before forming BACH, Tri-City Health Center served the Fremont community for 50 years, becoming a central force for providing health services to all in southern Alameda County.
Foothill Community Health Center began servicing low-income families and individuals in East San Jose in 1996 and the greater Santa Clara County region in 2011.
Both organizations bring decades of service, relationships, and professional staff to Bay Area Community Health. BACH serves more than 100,000 people, who rely on high-quality healthcare services, regardless of their immigration status, ethnicity, disabilities, or ability to pay,
