At Samaritan House, diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of who we are. Our central mission is to preserve dignity, promote self-sufficiency, and provide hope with compassion to everyone in the community.
Through our case management services, community clinics, emergency shelters, and food & financial empowerment programs, we are committed to fostering an environment and service practice where all feel valued, respected, and are free from discrimination.
Two highly respected free clinics provide a medical home to low-income and uninsured individuals residing in San Mateo county. This enables them to access the health care they need without accumulating the disabling debt often associated with healthcare expenses. The clinics offer comprehensive, integrated services, including primary and specialty medical, dental, vision, and mental health care.
We take a holistic, person-centered approach to healthcare. A patient starts by meeting with either a Case Manager or Clinic Manager to assess social, financial, housing, and other needs. Our team of physicians, dentists, and staff then helps patients get the care they need.
Patients of our clinics are residents in the neighborhood. They typically work hard as gardeners, food service workers, house cleaners, or entrepreneurs. Many tend to earn just enough income to be ineligible for Medi-Cal coverage, yet do not receive health insurance through their employers and cannot afford to pay for "out-of-pocket" health insurance. Without health insurance, access to even basic medical care becomes an unaffordable luxury.
We are currently in need of 1-2 RNs (preferred) or MAs, LVNs, EMTs, to support with inputting patient entry data as we transition from paper to digital. Help is needed about 2 hours weekly, but that is very flexible.
