About This Location
Valley Health Center Gilroy - Urgent Care is part of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare — the county-run public health system that serves as Santa Clara County's healthcare safety net. Valley Health Centers accept Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), Medicare, Valley Health Plan, and sliding-scale payments for uninsured county residents. The system is specifically designed to serve low-income, uninsured, and underserved populations, and is usually the best option for patients without commercial insurance. Services include walk-in urgent care for minor illnesses and injuries, lab tests, X-ray imaging (at most locations), pediatric care, and referrals into the broader Valley Medical Center specialty network. Multilingual staff typically include Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tagalog speakers reflecting the communities served. Located in Gilroy, the clinic operates 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM on weekdays. As a public-sector provider, Valley Health Centers fill a critical access gap in one of the most expensive healthcare markets in the United States.
