A Whole-Person Approach to Care

Who We Are

At Salud Para La Gente (Salud), we believe that health and wellness are fundamental building blocks for leading a healthy, happy life. We also know health starts for our patients where we live, work, learn, worship, and play.

Salud is a nonprofit healthcare organization with clinics in Santa Cruz County and North Monterey County. As a ‘health home,’ we’ve made it our mission to provide high quality, comprehensive, and cost effective healthcare that is responsive to the needs of the communities we serve.

We seek to ensure quality healthcare to all in need, and make sure we are where our community needs care.

Who We Serve

Meet Victoria

After Victoria lost her husband suddenly, she was offered Cobra insurance through his work. But she was unable to afford the steep cost. Her daughter suffers from asthma and needs medical attention and health insurance.

Victoria came to Salud where she was able to get her daughter the care and medication she needs. Victoria had no idea where to apply for health insurance.
