san francisco community clinic consortium
San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium (SFCCC) develops innovative programs and advocates for policies to increase access to quality community-based primary health care. We work to ensure that people of all income levels have access to health care that is:
Comprehensive, coordinated, and efficient
Culturally and linguistically appropriate
Focused on patient needs
Providing primary care services to more than 10% of San Francisco’s population, we work with providers citywide to coordinate primary care with specialists, hospitals, and other services. We serve overlooked populations such as low-income, homeless, immigrant, racially/ethnically diverse, LGBTQ, HIV-positive, and senior San Franciscans.
Demonstrating our Value
Through our award-winning Street Outreach Services (SOS) and Veterinary Street Outreach Services (Vet SOS), SFCCC works in partnership with its member clinics and the San Francisco Department of Public Health to provide quality, on-the-spot healthcare to the homeless population.

Our Members
San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium's 11 member clinics serve over 112,000 low-income, uninsured, and medically underserved people per year. The clinics are located strategically throughout San Francisco to meet the health needs of the people and communities they serve. Comprehensive primary, preventive, and ambulatory care services are provided by a team of doctors, mid-level clinicians, nurses, dentists, and health practitioners under the supervision of a medical director. Many clinics offer "one stop shopping" including mental health services, dental and vision care, health promotion and disease prevention education. Services are also available in up to 20 languages. No one is turned away due to an inability to pay. Services are offered on a sliding scale, based on income and may be free depending upon an individual’s circumstances and programs offered.
