Thank You for Voting SFCHC Among the Valley’s Best

San Fernando Community Health Center (SFCHC) is honored to be named a Best of the San Fernando Valley 2026 winner by the San Fernando Valley Sun. Thanks to the support of community voters, SFCHC won in two categories:

Best Dental Practice

Best Hospital or Medical Center

The inaugural Best of San Fernando Valley Readers’ Choice Awards invited readers to nominate and vote for local businesses, organizations, and services that help make our community thrive. SFCHC is grateful to everyone who took the time to vote and proud to be in the company of so many outstanding healthcare providers and partners serving the San Fernando Valley.

“This award belongs to every member of our team,” said SFCHC CEO Audrey Simons. “Our medical and dental providers work together each day to help patients feel welcomed, respected and supported. We are deeply grateful for this recognition and for the opportunity to provide high-quality, compassionate care to the community we love.  San Fernando Community Health Center strives to empower patients to take charge of their health, thereby strengthening the entire community."

Winning in both the dental practice and hospital or medical center categories is especially meaningful because it reflects the broad range of services SFCHC provides and the dedicated team members who make that work possible. We extend our heartfelt thanks for this honor and are here to be part of your healthcare journey through every stage of life.

Today, its services include medical, dental and behavioral healthcare, along with chronic disease management and health education.
