Launch Event Recap

After more than three decades serving young people in San Mateo County, Daly City Youth Health Center is unveiling its new name: YouthPoint Health. On March 17, 2026, we were joined by Daly City Youth Health Center founder Carol Forest and former Executive Director Barbara Raboy, San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa, Jefferson Union High School District Superintendent Toni Presta, Director of San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services Jei Africa, Deputy Director Ziomara Ochoa, numerous elected officials of San Mateo County, and dozens of community leaders, partners, youth, supporters, board members, and staff to mark this transition. San Mateo County also declared March 17th as YouthPoint Health Day to commemorate the celebration!

The new name reflects a shift from a location-based identity to one centered on the organization’s mission: connecting young people to accessible, compassionate, and comprehensive health care. It signals the organization’s commitment to expanding its impact throughout San Mateo County. YouthPoint Health provides medical care, behavioral health services, health education, and substance use prevention programs designed to support the whole person during critical developmental years. The clinic operates through a partnership between Jefferson Union High School District and San Mateo County Health. San Mateo Medical Center provides primary care services for youth at the clinic, while JUHSD provides behavioral health services and youth programming. Since its founding in 1990, the organization has supported thousands of young people through comprehensive care, youth leadership programs, and prevention services designed to build healthier futures for individuals, families, and communities.
