Community Medical Centers, Inc. (CMC) began in the 1960's as a volunteer effort of the San Joaquin Medical Society, the San Joaquin Local Health District and the Community Action Council. Local physicians, nurses, dentists and community activists who recognized the lack of health and social services programs formed service teams to address the needs of migrant farm workers and their families. From these early beginnings, CMC has grown to provide comprehensive primary and preventive care at eleven clinical sites in the county of San Joaquin, Solano, Yolo, and Calaveras.
