RotaCare
Clinics have been in existence since 1989
when the first homeless patient was treated in Santa
Clara. The first clinic was established by a local Rotary
Club. Since then, RotaCare has expanded to nine sites
in the Bay Area.
RotaCare
is a nonprofit corporation formed for the

It is a coalition of physicians, nurses, pharmacists,
social workers, interpreters/translators and other volunteers
who provide free medical care to the medically underserved
in a collaborative effort with Rotary Clubs, hospitals,
clinics, community and social service organizations
and service groups.

by the Internal Revenue Service. The RotaCare name is
federally trademarked. It is licensed as a free clinic
