Impact Lives, Impact Community

Family Health Centers of San Diego (FHCSD) is passionate about providing exceptional health care to all, especially underserved communities with limited health care options. Founded by a Latina grandmother/community advocate over 50 years ago in Barrio Logan, FHCSD has grown into one of the largest community health systems in the country. With over 62 sites, over 227,000 patients, and over 417,000 visits last year, we provide a wide variety of health care and outreach services to a very diverse patient population. We are proud of our mission, our lasting community impact, and the cultural and individual diversity of our staff.

"Why I'm here at City Heights Family Health Center is because it's a really important place for folks to get access to mental health services.... They're doing great work to think about the whole person. Not just the physical health, but the mental health side."

Work Environment

FHCSD provides outpatient mental health services in an integrated setting for those struggling with mild to moderate acuity levels. Our Mental Health Therapists have support from case managers, a scheduling team, administrators, and a wide range of medical professionals who are all dedicated to providing wholistic care to our patients. This enables our Mental Health Therapists to treat the entire person while focusing more fully on providing counseling services to patients. As part of FHCSD's training process, new employees also participate in our Buddy Program, so they have even more support from peers while learning their new position. All licensed therapists also have the option of a hybrid work schedule after completion of the initial training period. While the Mental Health Department has grown substantially over the past several years, we strive to stay connected across our many locations by utilizing MS Teams, remote meetings, inter-office events, and optional social activities throughout the year like our annual Mental Health Awareness Month Beach Bonfire.
