Since 2010 our goal has been simple: a free health clinic that provides primary care to uninsured adults.

At Clinic by the Bay, our mission is to understand and serve, with dignity and respect, the health and wellness needs of the medically underserved in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Health Is a Human Right. This Is Healthcare as It Should Be.

    About: Our Misson & Story

    Clinic by the Bay is the safety net for those who have no affordable option for high-quality, compassionate primary, acute, chronic or preventative medical care.

  • A woman and a man are talking in a medical office. The woman is sitting on a rolling stool and holding papers, and the man is sitting on a chair wearing a face mask. Medical equipment and a blank screen are visible in the background.

    Get Help: Find Services

    We believe our patients have a right to comprehensive healthcare. Our services are for uninsured adults living or working in the Bay Area. All Clinic services are free for patients.
