About This Location
Clinica Sierra Vista – Elm Community Health Center is operated by Clinica Sierra Vista — one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in California and the primary FQHC serving Fresno County's agricultural and farmworker communities. Founded in 1971 as a migrant health clinic, Clinica Sierra Vista has grown to serve 130,000+ patients annually across 40+ sites in the San Joaquin Valley, Central Coast, and Southern California. Like all FQHCs, Clinica Sierra Vista accepts all patients regardless of insurance status, with sliding-scale fees based on household income — a vital resource in a county where agricultural employment and seasonal work often leave families uninsured.
