San Ysidro Health Opening 3 New Centers in 2026: Julian, Joe & Vi Jacobs, Chula Vista
San Ysidro Health, one of San Diego County's largest FQHCs, is scheduled to open three new health centers in 2026 — Julian Family Medicine (March), Joe & Vi Jacobs Center (fall), and Chula Vista Specialty Care (winter). This follows the recent opening of a $55M National City center expected to serve 20,000 people annually and create 200-250 permanent jobs. CEO Kevin Mattson noted 25-30% of National City's community lacks access to medical and behavioral health care, and the expansion comes as 'families are losing healthcare coverage and federal funding is increasingly limited.'
Key takeaways
- 3 new SYH centers in 2026: Julian (March), Joe & Vi Jacobs (fall), Chula Vista Specialty (winter)
- $55M National City center: 20,000 patients/year, 200-250 jobs, 25-30% of community lacked access
