"When compassion leads our work and community guides our purpose, we create a place where everyone can thrive."
THRIVE 2026 — Compassion in Action. Community at Heart.
Dear Soledad Community,
As we begin 2026, I am honored to share a message of gratitude, purpose, and hope on behalf of Soledad Community Health Care District.
This year, our organization is guided by a shared focus:
THRIVE 2026 — Compassion in Action. Community at Heart.
Across our district — including Soledad Medical Clinic, Women’s Health Center, Eden Valley Care Center, and the Soledad Community Health Care District Foundation — our commitment remains steadfast: to serve our community with compassion, integrity, and excellence at every stage of life, from the very beginning to the golden years.
To thrive means more than providing care. It means creating a healthcare system where patients feel supported, staff feel valued, and our community feels deeply connected to the services and people who serve them. It means continuing to strengthen our programs, expand access, and respond thoughtfully to the evolving needs of South Monterey County.
Our progress is made possible by the dedication of our exceptional team and the trust of the community we serve. Together with our partners, supporters, and local organizations, we remain committed to building a healthier, more resilient future — one rooted in collaboration, innovation, and care.
Throughout the year, we look forward to initiatives that reflect our shared commitment to wellness, connection, and community impact. We invite you to stay engaged, share your voice, and continue partnering with us as we work together to help our community flourish.
Thank you for placing your trust in Soledad Community Health Care District. We are proud to stand with you — today and always — as your healthcare partner.
Here’s to a year of growth, compassion, and thriving together.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ida Lopez Chan
CEO, Soledad Community Health Care District
