Pathway Health Clinic History

Pathway Health Clinic (PHC) has been serving the North County San Diego community as a licensed medical clinic since 2002.  We were accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare in 2019 and reaccredited in 2022.  Status as an accredited organization means Pathway Health Clinic has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. Located off of the 78 Freeway and Emerald Drive in Vista, we provide no-cost limited early pregnancy services to those facing an unplanned pregnancy. If you think you might be pregnant- we can help.

Mission Statement:
Pathway Health Clinic provides evidence-based medical services and education in the area of sexual health.

As an accredited medical clinic, PHC provides essential services for at-risk women in the Tri-City area. As such, our clinic will remain open to provide the following limited medical care until further notice:

  • Pregnancy and gestational age verification by ultrasound – This essential service provides women with quick access to critical time-sensitive pregnancy diagnosis and information that will help them to decide whether obtaining additional medical care is urgent or can be postponed for a short while.
  • STD Testing and Treatment for both women and men – Getting tested for STDs is essential because it is the only way to know if someone has an STD and needs treatment.
  • Well-Woman Examinations – The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion recommends annual Well-Woman exams for the prevention of disease, early treatment, and education.

What our Patients say about PHC

“I love this place, I’m always treated well and never felt judged. Thank you for your services.”

“Everyone was very professional, informative and respectful.”

“It’s a wonderful, safe environment.”
