A legacy of caring- for over 40 years. Community Health Centers of the Central Coast began operation in 1978 in a small and modest building in Nipomo, California. The mission was simple and still holds true: To enhance the health status of all people in the Central Coast of California, with particular emphasis on the medically under-served, by providing accessible, affordable, comprehensive, and quality healthcare services, through well-trained professional staff, in strategically located health centers. Today, Community Health Centers of the Central Coast, Inc. (CHC) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, which holds a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status, making CHC a safety net provider, with over 31 state-licensed clinics conveniently located in Northern Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County. CHC provides over 450,000 medical visits annually and cares for nearly 150,000 patients.

Providing essential healthcare services to the working poor, migrant and seasonal farmworkers, individuals and families experiencing homelessness, school-based populations, and the uninsured means going outside the four walls of traditional medicine. CHC understands the need to be mobile to reach vulnerable and underserved special populations while at the same time removing barriers to care. In its commitment to delivering quality healthcare to all residents, CHC created the Community Health Outreach Program, which includes a fleet of state-of-the-art mobile medical and mobile dental units. Patients are cared for by a diverse team of highly experienced healthcare professionals who are culturally and linguistically sensitive to their health and social needs.

Gurjit Marwah MD is now seeing pediatric patients at Community Health Centers in Lompoc, CA. His specialty was in neonatology and he has made the decision to serve children on the central coast by providing health care for ages newborn to 17 years old. He comes from a long line of legacy doctors and is the 5th generation in his family to care for others as a physician. We are honored to have him as part of the CHC team serving the Lompoc valley.

Appointments can be made with Dr. Marwah Mon-Fri 9am-6pm by calling 805-737-1169. To learn more about Community Health Centers of the Central Coast, visit https://www.chccc.org

A 1982 congressional resolution designated May 6th as National Recognition Day for Nurses. The American Nurse Association expanded the recognition in 1990 to create National Nurses Week, which takes place each year from May 6th through May 12th.

While the holiday is over 35 years old, we still have not found the ideal way to put into words just how much our nurses mean to us here on the central coast. So, we put together a quick video tribute showing our thanks and support for these incredible team members that help CHC to care for patients.

All of us at CHC want to graciously thank and pay tribute to the hardworking nurses on our team. Your passion for our patient's health and safety is appreciated every day. The lasting effects of your kindness, optimism, and compassion you bring to our clinics do not go unnoticed – we truly appreciate you. Thank you for all you do. Again, everyone at CHC expresses deep gratitude to each and every CHC nurse and to nurses everywhere for just making it all better.

Now accepting new patients in Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and the surrounding Five Cities community.
