-The Monterey County Gives! team.
The Big Sur Health Center is a nonprofit that exists to serve the health and wellness needs of the Big Sur community. We provide quality healthcare through traditional and complementary approaches that are culturally sensitive and patient-centered. It is our quest to be a life-long healthcare partner for all in Big Sur, regardless of need or ability to pay.
People often think of Big Sur as an enormously wealthy community. In reality, its population is extremely diverse, from the uber-rich to the homeless. Those who struggle to make ends meet often have to sacrifice benefits such as health insurance so they have enough to pay rent and feed their families.
Big Sur Health Center believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We strive to ensure that quality health care services are available to ALL regardless of ability to pay. No one is ever turned away due to a lack of financial resources.
Our sliding scale fee structure for those unable to qualify for one of the government-subsidized programs ensures that all in our community have access to local quality healthcare. Last year, Big Sur Health Center provided discounted services to 108 uninsured patients and assisted an additional 356 patients through government-subsidized insurance.
We absolutely love the Big Sur Health Center! Each one of our boys loves going to the doctor's office in the Redwoods. The staff has an incredible capacity for compassion. Their smiles as we walk in make us feel warm and welcome. And the sliding scale policy makes our wallets feel great too! Thank you for providing such affordable health care. We couldn't have done it without you Big Sur Health Center!!!
