Vision
The Coachella Valley Free Clinic delivers primary care to Latinx and Indigenous Mexican communities in the rural desert region of Inland Southern California while training future healthcare providers to identify and address health inequities through innovative, community-centered models of care in underserved rural settings.
Healthy, thriving communities where equitable care is a right—not a privilege.
We provide general wellness checkups, mental health services, COVID-19 testing and treatment, social services, and referrals.
