Kaiser Awards $3.3M in San Bernardino County Community Grants — SAC Health Recognized for Access-to-Care Work
Kaiser Permanente is awarding $3.309M in community health grants to 59 SBC organizations in the 2025/26 cycle. SAC Health — the primary Inland Empire FQHC — was recognized under the 'Access to Care' priority for East County region work.
Private-sector safety net support is bolstering FQHCs ahead of federal Medicaid cuts and helps offset the compounding pressure from county deficits, H.R. 1 implementation, and Medicaid-ICE chilling effects.
Arrowhead United Way reported a separate $4.16M Kaiser round — verify whether distinct or bundled grants.
Key takeaways
- Private-sector grants partially offset H.R. 1 + county deficits — FQHCs should pursue Kaiser + other plan community benefit dollars aggressively
