Aliados Health is a regional association of 17 community health centers with sites in Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa, Solano, and Yolo counties. Formed in 1994, our mission is to improve access to and the quality of care provided for underserved and uninsured people in our six counties. Aliados Health’s major focus is to strengthen the capacity of member health centers to act as a regional network of comprehensive primary care that provides access to consistently high-quality clinical care, effective care coordination and reduce health disparities.
Our History:
Aliados Health grew from an informational Sonoma County “Council of Clinics” monthly meeting in the early 1990s designed to share information and coordinate efforts. Led in large part by County of Sonoma leadership, the meetings evolved into a robust collaboration among health center leaders around a shared goal of improving health care access and quality for underserved populations. Aliados Health officially incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1994 under the name Redwood Community Health Coalition to receive joint grants and implement projects of mutual benefit. Originally incorporated with health centers from Sonoma and Marin Counties, the coalition grew to add Napa and Yolo county health centers. On January 1st 2022, the Redwood Community Health Coalition merged with the Community Clinic Consortium, adding health center members in Contra Costa and Solano counties. On January 1st 2023, the Redwood Community Health Coalition changed its name to Aliados Health to reflect the newly merged entity and its new strategic vision for serving its membership.
