WIC Program- Silver Creek

History

In 1970, the United American Indians of Santa Clara Valley,reorganized as the San Jose American Indian Center, becoming a community-based information and referral agency. In 1975, the Center moved from a modest building in the Civic Center Area to Downtown San Jose. This site served as a gathering place for the AI/AN community, where they could play fast pitch softball and basketball, and began developing a library to support education programs. In 1994, IHC needed a much larger facility to house its expanded services, and so they moved to Central San Jose, where our Main Site at 1333 Meridian Avenue still serves our community. After this move, IHC began to experience steady growth and we expanded to additional locations. Today, we are honored to continue the work of providing high quality, culturally competent medical and wellness services to American Indians andAlaska Natives, and people from all walks of life.
