Background and HistoryFounded in 1973, North County Health Services (NCHS), a non-profit healthcare corporation was organized by a team of nurses to provide care to residents of north San Diego County using a mobile clinic. This was a time when north San Diego County was rural. There were few health care providers caring for those without insurance, and few individuals had transportation to reach other physicians willing to care for them. Our nurses were committed to bringing healthcare into these underserved areas.Today, the profile of north San Diego County has changed. It is urban, yet access to healthcare remains problematic. Consequently, NCHS continues its mission to "improve the health status of our diverse communities by providing quality healthcare that is comprehensive, affordable, and culturally sensitive." It prides itself in its effective corporate management, solid base of financial operations, comprehensive scope of services, and in the diversity and quality of its staff.
North County encompasses the cities and communities of Carlsbad; Del Mar; Encinitas (including Cardiff By The Sea, Leucadia, and Olivenhain); Escondido; Fallbrook/Bonsall; Oceanside; Camp Pendleton; Pala/Pauma Valley; Poway; Ramona; Rancho Bemardo; Rancho Penasquitos/Carmel Mountain Ranch; San Marcos; Solana Beach; Valley Center and Vista.A SnapshotNCHS a private, not-for-profit healthcare organization has provided quality health and dental care in northern and northeastern communities of San Diego County since 1973. It is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) with 5 primary care medical offices in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Ramona and San Marcos; 3 dental offices of which 2 are co-located with Ramona and San Marcos health centers and 1 is a free-standing clinic in Oceanside; and 2 pediatric medicine and 2 women’s health services centers respectively co-located in Encinitas and Oceanside.The lack of accessible and affordable healthcare services prompted NCHS to extend services whenever possible, and motivated its current strategic directions. The staff mirrors the community's cultural and ethnic makeup. Healthcare is coordinated with other government agencies, private sector and not-for-profit organizations and medical specialists.
Medical services are available regardless of financial and health insurance status. For our users who lack health insurance, our patient registration staff will conduct a financial screening to determine co-costs of care (based on sliding scale discount); furthermore, staff will attempt to use government health coverage programs in the event the person meets the qualification criteria. NCHS also writes grants to secure local and private funding to subsidize costs and scope medical and dental services prescribed.
