TCHC To Merge With Foothill Community Health Center

Press release from the Tri-City Health Center:

May 29, 2020

San Jose, CA – On June 1, Foothill Community Health Center (FCHC) and Tri-City Health Center (TCHC) will merge to create Bay Area Community Health, one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Centers in Northern California.

The merger comes from a management relationship between the two health center organizations, which started in late 2019. TCHC provides healthcare services in Southern Alameda County and FCHC provides healthcare services in Santa Clara County. Bay Area Community Health (BACH) will provide healthcare to residents from Union City to Gilroy.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, BACH’s Board of Directors is assembled from Directors at both organizations.

Patients will not have any changes to their provider or care. Instead, they may notice subtle improvements to the clinic space and operations. All of FCHC’s and TCHC’s existing relationships with local organizations and stakeholders will be maintained, and any community groups interested in learning more about the BACH transition are invited to contact BACH with questions. The new organization will have a new website and logo (incorporating both Tri-City’s and Foothill’s history).

Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
