Building a legacy of service, education, and research for four decades.

Peninsula Health Concepts is the business name for John de Miranda. Created upon his arrival on the San Francisco Peninsula in 1979, the name has been associated with several major national projects and scores of focused efforts to improve governmental, corporate and nonprofit activities that improve the quality of life for thousands of Americans.

Information about some of these efforts is contained in this website. Here you can learn about the history of campaigns to open up addiction treatment to people with physical, sensory, developmental and cognitive disabilities, as well as to educate Americans in recovery about the civil rights protections afforded by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

John’s work as an advocate is well-known. He was an early adopter of progressive drug policy reform and harm reduction approaches, and was involved in a Supreme Court case to protect people in recovery from employment discrimination.
