Bartz-Altadonna Community Health Center (BACHC) was founded in 2010 with a singular mission: to provide high-quality, accessible, and comprehensive healthcare services to the residents of the Antelope Valley and East Kern County, regardless of their ability to pay. BACHC was established in response to a critical need for medical care among uninsured and underinsured individuals in our community. Our founders, driven by a passion for health equity and a desire to bridge gaps in healthcare access, recognized the growing disparities in the region and took action to create a health center dedicated to serving everyone.

​

In 2011, BACHC became a Healthcare for the Homeless provider, further solidifying our commitment to reaching the most vulnerable populations. By 2014, we achieved designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), enabling us to expand our services and broaden our impact throughout the Antelope Valley, East Kern County, and surrounding communities.

​

Since our inception, BACHC has grown from a small clinic into a comprehensive healthcare network with multiple locations and mobile units, serving more than 17,000 unique patients annually. Our services include primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, HIV/AIDS care, and more. We also offer enabling services such as case management, transportation, and translation assistance to ensure that all patients receive the care they need without barriers.

​

At the heart of BACHC is our unwavering belief that healthcare is a fundamental right. We are committed to fostering a patient-centered environment built on compassion, respect, and dignity. Our dedicated team of providers and staff works tirelessly to improve health outcomes, promote wellness, and empower individuals to lead healthier lives.

BACHC continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of our community. We are proud of our journey and look forward to a future where every person in the Antelope Valley and East Kern County has access to the quality healthcare they deserve.
