Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Non-Construction - Bay Area Community Health (BACH) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) providing comprehensive health services in Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, California. BACH was formed in 2020 off the strength of southern Alameda County’s Tri-City Health Center and Santa Clara County’s Foothill Community Health Center. Formed during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, BACH brings more than 70 years of combined service to the service area. Today, BACH serves nearly 80,000 people who rely on high-quality healthcare services, regardless of their immigration status, race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, insurance status, or ability to pay. The total population of BACHs' catchment areas is 1,538,630, and the target population includes the working poor, people experiencing homelessness, people living with HIV/AIDS, transgender individuals, and other medically underserved populations. BACH’s team of over 700 dedicated professionals provides comprehensive primary and preventive medical care, dental care, behavioral health, enabling, and other services at 29 clinical delivery sites. In 2021, BACH leveraged a full integration of EPIC electronic health records into its Santa Clara County clinics to boost care coordination. The EHR implementation provided BACH with a single source for managing patient medical, dental, and behavioral information across all 27-clinic sites within Alameda and Santa Clara Counties. As part of year 2 of the integration project, BACH is proposing to use funds from HRSA’s Congressionally Directed Spending: Non-Construction Projects towards specific supplies and applications that focus on patient access to personal health information.
