Santa Barbara, CA-- Local public health clinics are seeing a significant increase in patients recently. That's partly because of the increasing number of unemployed residents who are losing their health care when they lose their jobs.

The Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics have three medical clinics. Last fiscal year they received a total of about 52,000 visits. This fiscal year the number of visits is already at 64,000 and expected to grow.

The Neighborhood Clinics offer service to people regardless of their ability to pay.
