For over five decades, Gardner Health Services has provided exceptional health care to people of all ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. In 1967, community members with help from the Stanford Medical School created a small clinic to meet the urgent health needs of local farm workers in the Alviso community. Since that time Gardner Health Services has expanded in response to community needs, now providing medical, dental, vision, counseling, and substance abuse services to more than 46,000 Santa Clara and San Mateo County residents annually.
At Gardner Health Services, we know that having a place to go for regular medical care is crucial to keeping people healthy and reducing the cost of healthcare for taxpayers. Your support ensures Gardner Health Services can continue to provide comprehensive, high quality medical and mental health care to our most vulnerable community members.
