Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia (DHMG – Sequoia) is excited to announce the expansion of its Half Moon Bay primary care clinic to include urgent care services and extended hours of operation. Starting November 13, this pilot program will run for six months and aims to provide essential pediatric and adult urgent care services to the community while gaining valuable insights into the health care needs of coastal residents.

District 3

With funding support from the County of San Mateo, the clinic will provide urgent care services to all community members, regardless of their health insurance plan or coverage. No patient will be turned away based on insurance coverage, including those who are uninsured, and residents do not need to be Dignity Health patients to receive care. 

“We are thrilled to offer these expanded services to our community,” said Marie President, MD, chief medical officer, Dignity Health Medical Group – Sequoia. “This pilot program will allow us to provide convenient and accessible in-person and virtual same-day services for common urgent medical issues, while also gathering data to better understand the health care needs of our coastal residents.”

Supervisor Ray Mueller, whose district includes the Coastside, said, “I am thankful that the County Board of Supervisors approved my request to fund this urgent care clinic pilot on the coast, especially in light of the recent closure of the only ER in the area. This marks a significant public health victory for our community. During this pilot, no patient will be denied care due to lack of insurance coverage.”

The pilot same-day clinic will offer walk-in appointments:

Wednesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The clinic will treat a wide range of non-life-threatening medical issues, including:

Ear and eye infections
Urinary tract infections
Sprains and muscle strains
Cold, flu, and other respiratory illnesses
Allergies and asthma
Cuts and burns
Mild fever
Skin conditions such as rashes and insect bites

For emergencies, coastal residents should dial 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency department. This includes: 

Chest pain
Shortness of breath
New onset weakness (stroke symptoms)
Serious injuries
