New Bay Area Community Health Location
Bay Area Community Health (BACH) celebrated a significant milestone this quarter with the opening of our new McKee Health Clinic located at 3055 McKee Road, San Jose. This addition marks a pivotal moment in our organization's mission to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare to all members of the community. Our network now spans 34 neighborhood clinics, ranging from Hayward to Gilroy, ensuring that even more individuals have convenient access to comprehensive healthcare services.
During his speech at the ribbon cutting event in February, BACH CEO Dr. Zettie Page emphasized that the decision to open this new clinic was driven by a commitment to ensuring that patients in this community receive consistent care, particularly with regards to accessibility. “This intentional effort reflects our dedication to providing access to care and maintaining the quality of services. The capital investment grant from the federal government facilitated the swift implementation of phase one of this project.”
Furthermore, BACH Board of Directors Chair Carlos Rosario emphasized the organization's longstanding commitment to serving Bay Area residents, spanning about 70 cumulative years prior to the merger. He noted that the merger facilitated expanded coverage to underserved areas and enabled immediate investments in technology, including the implementation of electronic health records systems and the introduction of mobile health clinics, enhancing access to healthcare services and addressing the growing trend in healthcare needs.
The clinic currently has six state-of-the-art examination rooms, equipped with the latest technology, and BACH's first onsite pharmacy for immediate access to medication.
Phase two will include:
Expanding medical services;
Behavioral Health services;
Dental services; and
Relocated corporate offices.
Aside from BACH’s board members who were in attendance, other honorary attendees at the event included Astrid Scott from the Office of California State Senator Aisha Wahab, Daniel Cao from Santa Clara County District 3 Board Supervisor Otto Lee’s Office, and Mexican Consulate Consul General, Alejandra Bologna. They presented BACH with certificates, honoring and recognizing the commendable work that BACH does.
Dr. Page also expressed gratitude towards the remarkable group of staff and leadership present at the event, acknowledging their efforts in making a high-quality healthcare delivery system accessible to all.
“I’d like to acknowledge our public officials, community leaders and funders, and my amazing board of directors and BACH staff who together make patient service delivery happen seven days a week. For this, I am humbled and honored to be your team lead.”
The launch of the new clinic location exemplifies BACH's unwavering commitment to expanding healthcare access and improving health outcomes for all members of our community. With a diverse array of comprehensive services, a dedicated team, and a firm focus on cooperation and fairness, BACH continues to lead the way in advancing towards a healthier future for everyone.
