News release
The nonprofit Samuel Dixon Family Health Center Inc. is expanding its partnership with Bridge to Home, providing enhanced health care services to residents and clients, the Dixon Health Center announced in a news release.
Founded in 1980, the Dixon Health Center has been dedicated to delivering affordable health care to underserved populations throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Over the years, the organization has grown from a small community clinic to multiple comprehensive health center locations offering primary care, dental care, behavioral health, and preventative health programs for individuals and families, according to the release.
The Dixon Health Center began providing on-site primary care services to Bridge to Home residents in March 2025. This initiative ensures that homeless individuals receive consistent, accessible medical care, the release said.
The nonprofit health organization recently added preventative dental care in November.
“Our partnership with Bridge to Home allows us to meet people exactly where they are, with the dignity and comprehensive care they deserve. Launching dental services at their site is an important step in removing barriers and ensuring every individual has access to oral health care,” Dental Program Manager Vazgen Tervardanyan said in the release.
“Our mission has always been to break down barriers to care for underserved populations,” Philip Solomon, CEO of the health center, said in the release. “Providing primary care since March and now expanding to preventative dental care allows us to support Bridge to Home residents in achieving both immediate and long-term health outcomes.”
Bridge to Home Interim Executive Director Courtney Kanagi added: “SDFHC’s services have had a transformative impact on our residents. The availability of both primary and dental care on-site supports our clients’ health and dignity, and it strengthens our ability to help them achieve stability.”
