Company History
Where We Started
LifeLong Medical Care’s story began more than 49 years ago with the unwavering belief that continues to guide the organization—that all people have the right to receive the healthcare and support they need. The year was 1976, in Berkeley, California, where the senior population faced a growing, unmet need for health services. Enter a small group of Gray Panthers, whose members created an innovative solution—a milestone in elder care—the Over 60 Health Center.
LifeLong Today
Our first health center located in a storefront on San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley has evolved to become LifeLong Medical Care, a dynamic nonprofit community organization. LifeLong provides medical, dental, behavioral health and social services in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Each year, we deliver quality health and wellness services to 50,000+ patients each year, many with complex health conditions. We serve all, regardless of ability to pay or housing situation. We do this through many primary health centers, several of which also offer urgent and dental care. We're out in the community with two mobile dental centers and five street medicine vans. We also provide supportive housing, medical respite, and school-based health services.
