Health Care for Every Neighbor
The quality of your doctor shouldn’t depend on your income.
The Problem
Health care is the most segregated industry in America.
The wealthy get “wealth care” — unhurried appointments, attentive physicians, same-day access, and advocates who help them navigate a complex system. The poor get “poor care” — overloaded emergency rooms, rushed 10-minute visits with rotating providers, and a system that treats them as a cost to be minimized rather than a person to be healed.
In downtown San Jose, the gap is real and visible. Low-income families, uninsured neighbors, and recently arrived refugees face a healthcare system that is structurally designed to give them less. Less time, less access, less dignity.
Healing Grove was founded to close that gap, not by lowering the standard of care for paying members, but by raising the standard of care for everyone.
The Program
Through the Healing Grove Foundation’s low-income membership program, uninsured and low-income community members receive the exact same top-quality care as paying concierge members; from the same board-certified physicians, in the same facilities, with the same depth of attention.
What low-income members receive:
- Same-day appointments: no weeks-long waits
- 30–60 minute appointments: real time with a doctor who knows your name
- Health Care, Soul Care, and Culture Care: the full Healing Grove model
- Specialty care coordination: when patients need care beyond what Healing Grove provides, the team connects them with government and volunteer providers at prices they can afford
- Affordable medications: physicians are experts at finding medications that low-income patients can access at reduced prices, sometimes even for free, through a network of local pharmacies
Who we prioritize:
Low-income reduced-fee members are asked to join as a family. Healing Grove prioritizes extremely low-income families (making less than 30% of the area median income) who live near Healing Grove’s center in downtown San Jose.
As Jesus said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.” At Healing Grove, it is our greatest honor to serve those to whom the Kingdom belongs. We understand that poverty hurts both soul and body. We bring healing to both, in the context of each member’s culture.
Outcomes
Healing Grove Transformed Pancho’s life!
From losing everything in the pandemic to volunteering at the clinic that helped him recover: how Dr. Angie and the Healing Grove team made one patient feel like family.
Personal Healthcare Paves the Way for Community Care
Why bestselling author and pastor Francis Chan became a Healing Grove member himself: great care, his doctor’s personal cell number, and a ministry he believes in that brings the gospel and healing to the community.
A Compassionate Doctor in San Jose
Through a brother’s love, radical forgiveness, and the right medicine, a man who arrived nearly catatonic and homeless may recover his mind and his life: this is the Healing Grove way, where relationships sit at the center of everything we do.
The Need
$70/month sponsors one low-income uninsured patient for full access to Healing Grove’s concierge care.
$140/month funds a complete medical home for two uninsured neighbors with the same quality of care a paying member receives.
Every paying Healing Grove clinic member already funds two low-income members through their monthly fee. Your donation extends that reach even further into the lives of neighbors the system would otherwise leave behind.
