Health Care Districts are public entities that provide community-based health care services to residents throughout the state. They respond to the needs in their District by providing a wide range of services, which many include a hospital and nursing facilities, as well as education and wellness programs. Each of California’s Health Care Districts are governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees who are directly accountable to the communities they serve today.

The Peninsula Health Care District cares for the health of our communities by supporting community-based programs and partnerships, and investing in health care facilities for future generations. Over the past several years, the District Board has approved funding to address a broad range of health care needs by investing in several important initiatives:

The Trousdale – coming to Burlingame in 2018, The Trousdale is an assisted living and memory care facility, owned by PHCD and operated by Eskaton
Apple Tree Dental – an innovative dental care model that removes barriers to access for the elderly and special needs adults
