History
Soledad is the fastest-growing community in Monterey County. Compared to the more urban areas of the county, Soledad has a statistically lower average household income, larger family sizes, a higher percentage of minorities, and a population primarily employed in agriculture.
In the next five years, the city's population is expected to continue growing rapidly. As the community grows, so do its health care needs. Identifying and meeting the needs of the Soledad community is our first priority; thus, the Soledad Rural Health Clinic seeks to expand programs and services to meet the increasing local demand.
The population of Soledad, according to the most recent census, is just under 23,000. The clinic serves a population that includes surrounding communities and rural areas in South Monterey County, adding an additional 30,000 people who access our Medical Clinic services.
