Who We Are
Originally established along the U.S. / Mexico border in 1969, the organization was founded by a group of mothers in search of medical services for their children. Over 50 years later, San Ysidro Health now provides innovative care to hundreds of thousands of lives in our care through a vast and integrated network of 50 program sites across San Diego County including:
Our Services & Programs
50+ Years of Patient-Centered Care
San Ysidro Health and its program sites are designed under the concept of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model of care, where the patient, not the support staff or provider, is the focus of all care and services.
Our organization’s name and brand identity pay homage to its humble beginnings in the community where it was established 55 years ago. This community was named in honor of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers, day laborers, and rural communities—the working poor. These values of compassion and care for others still ring true in the organization’s mission to improve the health and well-being of all in the communities we serve, especially the most vulnerable across San Diego County.
Our Leadership
The San Ysidro Health Leadership team is comprised of executives and board members committed to the goal of making quality healthcare accessible to thousands of patients through a vast and integrated network of sites across San Diego County.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
San Ysidro Health continues building and strengthening a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) that is intricately connected to our mission achievement. Our endless DEIB effort is the workforce catalyzer that makes San Ysidro Health a better place to receive health care, a better partner to the communities we serve, and a better place to work.
