Welcoming. Trustworthy. Innovative. Caring. These qualities have defined VCC since it first opened in the basement of a local animal shelter in 1972. VCC quickly became the health care safety net for the area's poor and uninsured by giving them access to the high quality health services that they needed and deserved. Today VCC is recognized as a key regional health provider with eight state-of-the-art clinics treating more than 65,000 patients each year. Our innovative model of community health provides low cost, high quality health care to the residents of San Diego , Riverside and Orange county communities.
