Madera Community Hospital celebrated the grand opening of its new Family Health Services Center on Tuesday.

The new clinic, located at 1210 E. Almond Ave., was developed in partnership with American Advanced Management Inc. — which operates the Madera hospital — and received support from state leaders, including Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, Sen. Anna Caballero and local leaders and residents who called for increased access to care.

The center, designed to serve the needs of rural communities, will include a range of services, including preventative screenings and wellness checkups, employment health and mental health services, pediatric and women’s health care, chronic disease management and specialty consultations and will aim to reduce the burden on emergency departments.

“This center is more than just a building — it’s a promise to our rural families that their health matters,” said Dr. Sony Sidhu, CEO. “We’re bringing care closer to home, and we’re doing it with compassion, expertise, and a deep commitment to community wellness.”

The center accepts all types of insurance, providing treatment for patients on MediCal and Medicare programs, as well as uninsured patients.

Attendees at the grand opening were treated to a community reception prior to the event, as well as a guided tour and opportunities to meet the care team at the new center.
