Pacific Free Clinic

Pacific Free Clinic is a volunteer‑driven primary care clinic located in the Overfelt High area of San Jose, serving uninsured adults in Santa Clara County. The clinic generates revenue primarily through grants, donations, and partnerships with local health systems and Stanford Medicine, relying heavily on volunteer clinicians and staff to deliver services. As a local safety‑net provider, it fills a critical gap in access to care for a medically underserved population, operating out of a modest facility near Overfelt High School. With an estimated staff of 5‑10 individuals, the clinic’s size reflects its community‑focused, nonprofit model. Based on an estimated 8 employees, the clinic could save approximately $9,520 annually through the Employee Benefits Program (8 × $1,190). The Clinic Director, who oversees benefits and staffing decisions, would be motivated by the opportunity to redirect these recurring tax credit savings toward stabilizing volunteer stipends, expanding services, or improving patient continuity. Offering a competitive benefits package via EBP could also help attract and retain skilled volunteer clinicians, reduce turnover, and strengthen the clinic’s ability to provide consistent, coordinated care in a high‑need region.
