From Our Family to Yours:
Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics
Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics provides desperately needed medical, dental and health education services to families, in large part, due to the support of individual donors like you. Our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable medical and dental care to all, especially those uninsured and underserved & regardless of their ability to pay. SBNC has been responsible for 48,000 visits for low-income residents in the last 12 months. Last year alone, there were over 11,000 health education and outreach contacts by our clinics, and 1,200 of these residents came in for medical treatment as a result of what they learned.

In addition to our primary medical care services, SBNC continues to provide leadership in free preventive healthcare education with our two Health Program Centers. Our three medical clinics, Westside, Eastside and Isla Vista, as well the Eastside Family Dental Clinic, have been successfully working together to improve the health of our community, thanks to your continued support!

Your Support Helps Families Stay Healthy
Oscar is one of SBNC's young dental patients who desperately needed dental care and was in a lot of pain. His parents couldn't take him to the dentist because they had no insurance and could barely feed or house their family.
