Through the Surgery Program, doctors and nurses at participating community clinics can refer eligible patients for outpatient surgeries at participating hospitals, allowing people to get back to work and their families.

AccessOC depends exclusively on donations and grants to accomplish our goals. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to AccessOC today! All donations have a direct impact on the wellness of our community.

Success of the Surgery Program relies on volunteers like you. Medical professionals, students and people with a second language make a critical difference in people's lives.

AccessOC serves Orange County’s most vulnerable residents. All of our patients are low-income and are under- or uninsured; 97% of our patients live at or below 200% of federal poverty level. While our target population may access primary care through certain private physicians or group practices, or through one of the free and low-cost community clinics, they lack access to specialists — because very few local specialists accept public insurance or serve the uninsured. As a result, many suffer ongoing disability from untreated medical conditions, have become unable to work and have a significantly reduced quality of life. By providing access to specialists, AccessOCs work helps improve health and well-being for Orange County's low-income, medically indigent residents.
