In an effort to expand service to a historically-underserved region of Santa Clara County, a new public health center is coming to Gilroy next year.
“Finally, our families will have a place where they will be heard, to be taken care of, and to have a person follow up on their individual cases,” said Lucy Navarro, a resident who gave input on the upcoming center, in a news release. “I am very excited.” The site will help enroll residents in MediCal, CalFresh, and Covered California and refer residents to other community resources for food, housing and health care. They will also offer fitness and wellness classes such as Zumba, yoga, or classes on healthy cooking. All programs and services will be free to the community.
“We recognized that we needed to have a physical presence in Gilroy to better serve those members,” said Chelsea Byom, Vice President for Marketing, Communications & Outreach for the health group. “Access to resources in South County is a challenge and not the same access that you would get elsewhere in the county. That was why it became a priority to us.”
