About Via Care
Via Care Community Health Center (Via Care) was founded in 2015 to address the increasing lack of access to healthcare for low-income residents of Southern California.
Since then, Via Care has grown into a full-service 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) safety-net provider, serving low-income patients of all ages with culturally and linguistically appropriate health and wellness services. Through its network of clinics throughout Los Angeles County, Via Care offers primary medical, dental, behavioral health and supportive services to community members regardless of insurance, or an individual’s ability to pay.
Our mission is to support and uphold our community’s right to health by providing quality, comprehensive care.
Via Care envisions a world where healthcare is a basic human right.
Overdose Prevention
The Student Health Center offers free Narcan (naloxone), an opioid reversal medication, as well as fentanyl testing strips. In accordance with the Campus Opioid Safety Act (Senate Bill 367, Hurtado), California Community Colleges are required to provide opioid overdose reversal medication. Additionally, Assembly Bill 461 (AB 461, Ramos) mandates that each community college offer information about the use and location of fentanyl test strips.
To learn more about how to prevent opioid-related deaths by administering Naloxone, watch this YouTube video on Administering Naloxone to gain essential knowledge and skills.
