https://www.fqhctalent.com Intelligence items mentioning Santa Barbara County Public Health Department (Central Coast). Updated whenever we publish new intel about this FQHC. en-us Mon, 27 Jul 2026 19:59:52 GMT https://www.fqhctalent.com/intel/cencal-ceo-santa-barbara-uninsured-25k-50k-all-hands-july-2026 The Santa Barbara Independent reported that CenCal Health CEO Marina Owen projected 25,000 Santa Barbara County residents could lose health insurance in 2026, with the projected figure rising to 50,000 in 2027. The article gives no methodology or denominator, so these are attributed forecasts, not observed losses. Owen also reported that major county hospitals, clinics, Santa Barbara County, CenCal, and the Santa Barbara Foundation had held two response meetings and planned a third. Their immediate priority was helping residents retain coverage; longer-term work concerned care models for people who become uninsured. The article identifies county health centers, Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics, and American Indian Health & Services within the local FQHC safety net, but does not identify individual meeting attendees or quantify organization-specific effects.
