Gardner Family Care Corporation

Presentation to Santa Clara County Mental Health Board 2 Presented by Miguel Valencia, Ph.D, Mental Health Director Gardner Family Care Corporation

History Highlights 1967—Members of the Alviso community with help from the Stanford Medical School and the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity start the Alviso Family Health Center, later known as the Family Health Foundation of Alviso to address the community’s pressing need for medical services that were then non-existent. When services expanded from Alviso into the city of San Jose, following the needs of its growing patient base, the name was changed to the Family Health Foundation. 1968—A community group in the Gardner neighborhood of San Jose, again with the help of the Stanford Medical School & Sacred Heart Church began to organize the Gardner Health Center to address the medical needs of the cannery workers in that area of San Jose. This population, working in the fruit packing plants shared the same demographics, race, culture & language & the same needs for non-existent medical care as the Alviso workers who picked the fruit. 1997—Gardner Health Center & the Family Health Foundation merge & became Gardner Family Health Network, providing primary medical care & Gardner Family Care Corporation, providing behavioral care/substance abuse services. 3
