Monterey County's 12 Clinics Face $5-7M Revenue Loss — Clinica de Salud and Rural Mee Memorial at Specific Risk
Federal and state Medi-Cal cuts are projected to reduce revenue at the County of Monterey's 12 health clinics by $5-7M (8-11% of their $65M annual budget). Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas — serving the agricultural worker and immigrant community of the Salinas Valley — is specifically flagged as at risk.
Rural Mee Memorial Hospital in King City is also threatened. 45% of Monterey County residents (195,000 people) are on Medi-Cal; 33,000–45,000 are projected to lose coverage.
Signed-budget context: the UIS adult dental reduction that was being modeled for July 2026 is now a July 1, 2027 planning exposure for FQHC dental programs.
Key takeaways
- $5-7M revenue loss = 8-11% of the county clinic system's $65M budget — material operational impact
- UIS adult dental is now a July 1, 2027 signed-budget planning exposure for FQHC dental programs in the Salinas Valley.
