For Alamo residents, there’s a new and convenient option: Doctor video visits at Urgent Care + TeleHealth. You can start your healthcare journey with a video consultation, get a prescription if needed, and even follow up with an in-person clinic visit.
Lots of people have a tough time scheduling doctor appointments during the workweek, and it’s often hard to get an appointment quickly because many people want to see their regular doctor. But if you need advice about a health problem, don’t worry – we’re here to help. You can talk to us today through a secure app on your phone, or you can come to our clinic in person.
We take most health insurance plans, including Kaiser, which means that your video visits are usually covered by insurance (although some plans might ask for a co-pay). If you’d rather pay without using insurance, we have discounts, especially if you have an FSA or HSA plan.
Video visits are a practical solution, especially for older people who have trouble moving around or if you can’t take time off from work. They also come in handy when your regular doctor isn’t available or if you have health questions on the weekend.

- Community Resources: Contra Costa County has a great section on their website with a variety of services geared towards supporting the seniors in our community.
- Senior Transportation: Mobility Matters offers ambulatory, otherwise home bound senior residents of Contra Costa County free, one-on-one, door-through-door rides provided by volunteer drivers. These rides are primarily for the purpose of obtaining medical care, groceries, and other basic necessities.
The Rides for Seniors program was added to fill a gap in services for seniors who no longer drive and cannot access other forms of transportation. Unless they are able to use public transportation, paratransit vans, or cabs that provide only curb-to-curb service, seniors often have difficulty in accessing medical care and obtaining basic necessities. In our society, mobility = independence, so without a safe and available alternative to driving, the end result for seniors is often long term institutionalization or deteriorating health.
- Health and Social Services:
Contra Costa County is the home for a vibrant and growing population of older Americans. Contra Costa Health Services provides numerous programs to address the needs of our seniors.
