We’ve announced our fiscal year 2026 Community Benefit partners. See how partner programs address specific, unmet health needs throughout Santa Clara County.
As we enter fiscal year 2026, there remain many unmet health needs for the people in our communities. Among the needs we try to address are dental care for homeless individuals and families; regular access to food and wellness checks for the disabled, homebound, low-income and elderly individuals; and bilingual mental health support for parents of children with special needs. These examples represent just a portion of the broader range of health needs supported by El Camino Health’s Community Benefit partners.
Fiscal year 2026 Community Benefit partners include nonprofit organizations, government-sponsored health programs, school districts and other community-based organizations with a history of serving local residents — including the most vulnerable in Santa Clara County. We’ve featured two partners in this issue of Community Connections and will highlight others in future issues.
Prioritizing Youth Health Before and After School Starts
For many, August is back-to-school season. El Camino Health funds programs that improve the health and well-being of students and youth during the summer and as they return to the classroom. For example, these funded programs:
- Conduct coach-led after-school fitness activities
- Facilitate advocacy and support services in-person and virtually for school-age foster youth
- Increase opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play
- Provide asthma management and education support
- Provide dental and hearing screenings
- Provide school health services and mental health counseling programs
- Encouraging Community Involvement
Improving health in our communities requires the commitment and shared vision of many people — including you. Whether you volunteer, attend a community event or rally behind a cause, there are countless ways to get involved. We invite you to learn more about our partners and who they serve.
