Community Medical Centers (Stockton) Launches 'CMC The Rock' — California's First FQHC-Operated Adolescent-Only Health Center
Community Medical Centers, a FQHC serving San Joaquin County, is converting the historic Ebenezer AME Church (Weber Ave + Stanislaus St) into 'CMC The Rock' — California's first FQHC-operated health facility designed exclusively for teens and young adults. Completion is targeted for September 2026.
The novel model directly addresses Central Valley adolescent behavioral health gaps where BH provider ratios run 1 per 3,000+ adolescents. Creates a template other FQHCs can replicate for youth-centered primary + BH integration.
Key takeaways
- First FQHC-operated adolescent-only health center in California — template for replication
- Addresses severe behavioral health gap (1 BH provider per 3,000+ Central Valley adolescents)
