Our Team
In 2011, Dr. Ahmad Nooristani created the first free clinic in San Luis Obispo County to serve the underserved population and provide free high-quality non-emergent healthcare to those who could not otherwise afford to access care in the county. While working at Lompoc Valley Medical Center he realized the need for a free health clinic in the community. He created Savie Health to provide high-quality, preventative primary, and behavioral healthcare to the uninsured.
Our amazing team of staff and volunteers are committed to providing
high-quality health care services to those who need it most.
