Who We Are
Gardner Health Services is a dynamic and progressive company dedicated to providing the best healthcare services with a community-oriented approach. Gardner’s mission is to provide high quality, comprehensive medical and mental healthcare, including prevention and education, early intervention, treatment and advocacy services which are affordable, respectful, culturally, linguistically and age appropriate.
Compromised of 10 various clinics with locations in the Bay Area of California stretching from Gilroy to Atherton and focused in the San Jose area, Gardner’s services are strategically located to ensure adequate coverage in the region and areas with the highest needs.

Gardner Health Services is an equal opportunity employer.
For over five decades, Gardner Health Services has provided high-quality, comprehensive healthcare to people of all ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. In 1967, community members with help from the Stanford Medical School created a small clinic to meet the urgent health needs of local farm workers in the Alviso community. Since that time Gardner Health Services has expanded in response to community needs, now providing medical, dental, vision, counseling, and substance use services.
Gardner Health Services is a critical part of the community’s social safety net. In Silicon Valley, one of the country’s wealthiest regions, more than 350,000 individuals struggle daily to meet basic needs — including healthcare — for themselves and their families. Fifteen percent of Santa Clara residents do not qualify for health insurance at all. Each year, nearly 50,000 of these individuals visit Gardner Health Services facilities to receive essential medical, dental, vision, counseling, and substance use services that, without Gardner Health Services, would be out of reach.
Gardner Health Services believes that quality of service is not commensurate with a patient’s income level and that all people deserve compassionate practitioners, excellent facilities, and world-class care.
