American Indian Health & Services

Santa Barbara Medical Clinic Welcome to American Indian Health & Services, where we provide quality medical, dental, pediatric and behavioral health services to all members of our community. Founded in 1994 as a Santa Barbara based non-profit, our community clinic has served the Central-Coast’s healthcare needs for over twenty years. Our patient-centered medical home model organizes primary care in a manner that emphasizes care coordination and communication between the patient and provider and outside specialists. We cultivate more engaging patient relationships and achieve better health outcomes by putting patients’ needs first. Our doctors are leading the way in providing higher quality care at lower costs, and improving overall experience in primary healthcare. Vision Statement We envision a vibrant community where American Indians, Alaska Natives, and the community are nurtured and values include a balance of care for the mind, body, and spirit. We envision a community health care center providing the care, education, and resources enabling clients to sustain a lifetime of health and wellness.
