WellSpace Health + Sacramento County Break Ground on 13-Acre Integrated Campus — First Medi-Cal/Uninsured Integrated Healthcare Site in Region
Sacramento County and WellSpace Health broke ground April 7, 2026 on a 13-acre integrated behavioral, dental, and physical healthcare campus in South Sacramento's Little Saigon community. WellSpace — the region's largest FQHC serving 1,400+ patients/day across 30+ sites in Sacramento/Placer/Amador — is partnering with the county on what would be the first integrated campus explicitly designed for Medi-Cal and uninsured residents. The groundbreaking is significant because it counterbalances the heavy crisis narrative: a major county-FQHC workforce pipeline investment launching amid $26M HHS rescissions and a projected $101M Sacramento County FY26-27 deficit. Shows the county-FQHC partnership model as a viable resilience strategy.
Key takeaways
- First integrated behavioral/dental/physical healthcare campus in the region designed for Medi-Cal and uninsured patients
- County-FQHC partnership model validates resilience strategy as counties retreat from direct services
- WellSpace's 30+ site, 1,400 patient/day scale anchors Sacramento's safety-net expansion through H.R. 1 cuts
