Serving the Bay Area for more than 45 years
LifeLong has come a long way in 45 years. A lot has changed since 1976. But one thing has consistently stayed the same, meeting the needs of our patients in the community.

Where We Started
LifeLong Medical Care’s story began more than 45 years ago with the unwavering belief that continues to guide the organization—that all people have the right to receive the healthcare and support they need. The year was 1976, in Berkeley, California, where the senior population faced a growing, unmet need for health services. Enter a small group of Gray Panthers, whose members created an innovative solution—a milestone in elder care—the Over 60 Health Center.

LifeLong Today
Our first health center has evolved to become LifeLong Medical Care, a dynamic nonprofit community organization with 14 primary care health centers, four dental centers, two dental vans, an adult day health center, four school-based health centers, a supportive housing program, mental health services, and immediate/urgent care centers, delivering quality health services for all ages. LifeLong is a safety net provider of medical, dental, and social services in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties and Adult Day Health Center services in Marin County. We provide services to more than 61,000 underserved individuals, many with complex health conditions every year.

Mission

LifeLong Medical Care provides high-quality health, dental, and social services to underserved people of all ages; creates models of care for the elderly, people with disabilities and families; and advocates for continuous improvements in the health of our communities.

Spreading Our Mission
LifeLong Medical Care has earned widespread national recognition for creative approaches to community health challenges, including the needs of the low-income elderly, people with disabilities, and high-risk pregnant women. Other health centers look to LifeLong’s model as they develop their services for these patients. We continuously advocate for public policy improvements related to quality care access, the reduction of health disparities, and expanded home- and community- based care.

• We believe all people are entitled to quality health care that serves the whole person.

Diversity is Important to Us And Patients We Serve
Embracing diversity at LifeLong Medical Care means understanding, respecting, and valuing people's differences, visible or invisible, including but not limited to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, and age.

Recognizing and applying diversity of perspectives, skills, and talents engages our employees and patients, which strengthens our decision-making. Ensuring that diversity is sought, valued, and respected is critical to our organization’s success and is a core expectation for LifeLong leaders.

Our commitment to diversity empowers us to generate unique insights and ideas, create solutions, and deliver innovation to improve outcomes for individual patients. We invest in and nurture relationships with diverse groups of partners, advocates, suppliers, and community organizations that help us better serve those patients. These relationships extend our efforts to help reduce health disparities and to address the unique needs of our communities.

At LifeLong, we are proud of our diversity and the essential role it plays in helping us accomplish our mission.
