SAC Health Wins ~$3.6M Annual HRSA FQHC Grant — a Rare Positive as Inland Empire Counties Cut
On June 3, 2026, SAC Health — the nation's largest specialty-based, teaching FQHC, with 11 clinics across San Bernardino and Riverside counties — announced HRSA renewed its annual Section 330 FQHC operating grant at roughly $3.6 million to sustain and expand community healthcare access. The center delivers family medicine, pediatrics, women's health, dental, behavioral health, and 40+ medical and surgical specialties.
The award is a rare positive data point in the Inland Empire, landing the same month Riverside County imposes a countywide hiring freeze and as centers prepare for the signed budget's July 1, 2027 UIS/PPS sensitivity window. It is a reminder that the federal Section 330 base grant (separate from the expiring $4.6B Community Health Center Fund supplement) continues to flow — a useful counterweight to the cliff narrative when FQHC boards model FY2026-27 revenue.
Key takeaways
- HRSA renewed SAC Health's annual Section 330 FQHC grant at ~$3.6M — a rare Inland Empire positive.
- SAC Health is the largest specialty-based teaching FQHC in the U.S.: 11 clinics, San Bernardino + Riverside.
- Section 330 base grants keep flowing even as the $4.6B Community Health Center Fund supplement nears its Dec 2026 cliff.
