CHCF: San Joaquin Valley FQHCs Serve 3.2M Visits/Year — But 77% Revenue Dependent on Medi-Cal
CHCF's San Joaquin Valley Regional Market Report 2025 (released Feb 2, 2026) shows CA's most FQHC-dependent region: community health centers provide 3.2 million visits/year in the SJV, with 77% of net patient revenue from Medi-Cal — significantly higher than statewide average. Half of all CHC visits in the region occur at just two organizations: Family HealthCare Network and United Health Centers. As federal Medicaid cuts loom and the PPS rate elimination for undocumented patients takes effect July 2026, the SJV's FQHC ecosystem is structurally the most vulnerable in California.
Key takeaways
- SJV community health centers provide 3.2M visits/year with 77% of revenue from Medi-Cal (above statewide average)
- Half of all CHC visits concentrated in just two orgs: Family HealthCare Network and United Health Centers
- SJV's FQHC ecosystem is structurally the most vulnerable in California to Medicaid cuts + PPS elimination
