Health & Well-Being
El Concilio California’s Health & Well-Being Department helps families access healthcare, prevent chronic disease, and build healthier lifestyles across the Central Valley.
We focus on removing barriers for insurance enrollment, transportation, medical appointments, and education about nutrition and prevention so families can grow, thrive, and stay well.
Access to Care and Preventive Support
When families can secure coverage, access preventive education, and attend medical appointments consistently, overall health improves and financial strain decreases.
Health & Well-Being at El Concilio California focuses on practical, community-based services that strengthen family stability and promote lasting wellness.

Community Wellness
Prevention starts with education.
We work in neighborhoods where families often face food deserts, limited transportation, and financial barriers to healthy choices. Families report improved diet habits, better portion control, enrollment in CalFresh, and greater awareness of chronic disease prevention.
Participants report improved grocery choices, stronger portion awareness, and greater understanding of chronic disease prevention.
Our Community Wellness programs provide culturally responsive classes, outreach, and intervention focused on:
- Diabetes, cardiovascular, and asthma prevention
- Nutrition education programs
- CalFresh enrollment education and assistance
- Oral health initiatives (including SJTEETH)
- Healthy Families and Comprando Rico y Sano
- Healthy Families classes
For information about Community Wellness programs or upcoming classes, please call (209) 644-2600.
“I have realized how poorly we choose the food that we bring to the table of our families… I’m grateful for the time the Health Educators took to show us we can make changes.” – Healthy Families participant
Medical Transportation Services (Stockton Area)
The Medical Transportation Services (MTS) Unit provides door-to-door, non-emergency transportation to healthcare appointments throughout Stockton.
Transportation is one of the most common reasons individuals delay medical care. Through MTS, clients who previously missed appointments are now receiving consistent treatment and preventive care.
- Transportation to medical facilities across Stockton
- Wheelchair-accessible vans
- Support for individuals managing chronic conditions
“Since utilizing the service, I’ve been fully meeting my physician’s appointments and have seen an increase in my health and well-being.”
