Our History | 

The director of CSF Surgery and founder of CSF Medical Non-Profit Foundation, Karla Terrazas, seeing the growing need of the community for access to accessible and affordable comprehensive health, founded CSF Medical Non-Profit Foundation with the intention of providing access to medical services, educational and prevention material, as well as resources for the community.

In 2020 we held multiple community benefit events:

• Emergency Relief Aid S.O.S. COVID-19
• “For You Farmworker, I Walk!”
• 3rd Annual “Sharing the Hope” Virtual Health Fair 
• Three Drive Though Food Distributions  

Through these, CSF provided aid and services to over 7,600 individuals in our area. We aspire to comfort families through their health crises and provide peace of mind associated with the burdens of dealing with the high cost of medical expenses. CSF has committed itself to improve the health and well-being of not only residents of Bakersfield but individuals across California and the US. We advocate on behalf of every patient that walks through our doors. We stand on the principle that everyone is entitled to affordable quality health care regardless of race, color, or citizenship. CSF primary commitment is strengthening communities through advocacy and education.
