San Ysidro Health Opens $55M Center in National City — 'Doing More with Less'
San Ysidro Health opened the $54.5M Macias Family Health Center in National City just as federal cuts to Medi-Cal intensify. CEO Kevin Mattson described it as 'a fraught moment' — work requirements and coverage changes will increase uninsured patients while reducing revenue. La Maestra and FHCSD also bracing for higher demand with less funding.
