When Supervisor Simitian encouraged the Board of Supervisors to bring County-run health services to the North County and West Valley communities he represents, District Five was the only supervisorial district without a County health clinic. In early 2022, the County opened a specialty care clinic and pharmacy at Planned Parenthood's Mountain View facility. Joe has introduced referrals to bring primary care clinics to the North County and the West Valley. Most recently, the County has leased a space in Palo Alto for the North County clinic, while De Anza College has signed a letter of interest for a West Valley clinic site that will be followed by a feasibility study.
