Information about Medi-Cal
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program, providing free or low-cost health coverage to qualified individuals and families with limited income. It ensures access to vital medical services such as doctor visits, hospital care, mental health treatment, prescriptions and preventive care.
At Alameda Health System, we believe good health is a fundamental right, not a privilege. We are committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to all members of our community.
As the only safety-net health care delivery system in Alameda County, we provide care to everyone, regardless of income or ability to pay. Our mission of caring, healing, teaching and serving is possible in large part because of Medicaid.
