Access to health care can be a challenge in some of the Bay Area’s more rural areas. On Friday, Santa Clara County dedicated a new facility to help meet that need.
The new medical campus is located in Morgan Hill.The goal is to keep patients like Mark Baerenstecher from having to leave the south county area and drive to more distant medical facilities in San Jose or elsewhere."So coming to a place which is just five or 10 minutes away is awesome," Baerenstecher said. Adding,"The services here are quick, speedy, and I could come in with a small wait . I got scheduled quickly and got to be seen that day," Baerenstecher said.
Angela Suarez, the director of primary care for Santa Clara Valley Healthcare.The new facility is at the site of the former De Paul health center which the county purchased in 2019. The hope is by having an easily accessible urgent care center and a wider range of medical services in the community, patients will also stay out of emergency rooms for issues which are not actual emergencies.
