Our Mission

Providing Compassionate, Comprehensive Care Since 1972

Since 1972, Marin Community Clinics (MCC) has been dedicated to making high-quality, affordable health care accessible to all Marin County residents, regardless of income, insurance status, or ability to pay. What began as a small, volunteer-run clinic operating in local churches has grown into Marin County’s largest nonprofit community health center, with modern facilities, experienced health care professionals, advanced technology, and comprehensive medical services.

Today, MCC serves more than 38,000 patients—nearly 1 in 6 Marin County residents—through over 236,000 visits annually. As a vital part of Marin’s health care network, MCC provides compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals and families, including those who are uninsured, underinsured, or facing barriers to accessing essential health services.

Through its Whole Family Care approach, MCC offers comprehensive primary medical care, dental services, behavioral health, obstetrics and gynecology, family planning, optometry, chiropractic care, and a range of specialty services. By emphasizing prevention, early detection, chronic disease management, and coordinated care, MCC addresses the diverse health needs of patients at every age and stage of life.

More than five decades after its founding, MCC remains committed to its mission: to promote health and wellness through excellent, compassionate care for all, regardless of ability to pay.

MISSION

To promote health and wellness through excellent, compassionate care for all.

VISION

Our vision is that every individual has an opportunity to achieve optimal health and wellbeing, supported by a network of caring and dedicated healthcare professionals.

Compassionate Health Care for our Community

Marin Community Clinics is an independent, nonprofit organization that is a vital part of the healthcare network of our community. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we serve patients from all walks of life. Our patients include those who are employed and have private health insurance, people enrolled in Covered California plans, people covered by public insurance programs, and those with limited or no health insurance. No one is turned away and charges are based on each individual’s ability to pay.

Thanks to the community support and government reimbursement that we receive, thousands of uninsured women, men, teens, and children have access to medical and dental care. As a result, more children and adults are receiving regular check-ups and are immunized, employees can stay healthier, and medical problems are addressed before they become life-threatening, and costly to treat.
