For over fifty years, CommuniCare Health Centers has served as a community leader providing high-quality, accessible healthcare services for any person who comes through our doors, regardless of health coverage or ability to pay. As CommuniCare+OLE, we continue to provide patient-centered care for 1 in 9 vulnerable Yolo County residents, including primary medical care, dental services, pre- and post-natal services, behavioral healthcare, substance use treatment, and health education.
In the Yolo County community, many residents know us by our health center location names: Davis Community Clinic, Hansen Family Health Center, the Family Wellness Center, Salud Clinic, and the Vida Family Health Center. CommuniCare+OLE also operates a Mental Health Navigation Center to help individuals exiting the justice system and delivers health education and outreach services in locations such as the county jail, schools, and migrant camps.
Our focus on building supportive, culturally sensitive, and collaborative relationships with our patients, along dedicated community outreach and mobile medicine programs, has allowed us to expand access to care for underserved community members. In 2023, our number of patient visits increased by close to 10% to over 136,000. We served 3,800 agricultural workers and their families, many of whom self-reported as seasonal or migrant workers. Of patients who reported their income, nearly 85% live at 100% of the federal poverty level or below - $30,000 for a family of four.
Without community support, CommuniCare+OLE's life saving work in the community would not be possible. Thank you for helping us ensure that comprehensive, high quality healthcare will always be available to everyone who needs it.
*CommuniCare+OLE builds stronger communities by ensuring high quality, comprehensive and personalized care for everyone who lives and works in the places we call home.
*We deliver health care in a safe, welcoming environment emphasizing patient partnership, wellness and preventive health in all of our services.
*We invest in employees, learners and volunteers at all levels of the organization.
CommuniCare+OLE is relying on community support to help fund our programs and services for our most vulnerable neighbors. We provide family medicine, dental care, counseling, and substance use disorder treatment, serving more people for substance use disorder than any other provider in Yolo County. Our mobile health team brings care directly to farmworkers and unhoused communities, and our outreach workers meet people where they are so that cost, insurance, or circumstance is never a barrier to getting help.
Your donation directly supports programs like:
• **Community Outreach**, which goes beyond health center walls to meet people where they are, in shelters, encampments, farmworker centers, and schools, connecting them with the medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare they need.
• **Smile Savers**, providing in-school oral health education and basic dental services to children, helping prevent costly and irreversible tooth and gum disease in adulthood.
• **Mobile Medicine**, serving unhoused individuals and seasonal agricultural workers through a van that operates 12 hours a week across Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento, and the Capay Valley.
• **Food As Medicine**, offering nutrition education and empowering patients to grow, access, and prepare healthy food through our clinic-based garden as part of chronic disease management and prevention.
• **Perinatal Care**, including comprehensive prenatal and postpartum services, plus free car seats, baby carriers, and baby wraps for new parents.
• **Primary Care for Uninsured Patients**, ensuring that a lack of coverage is never a barrier to essential healthcare.
As new patient visits decline due to fears surrounding gender, orientation, income, and immigration status, your support is more urgent than ever. Every gift, no matter the size, helps connect a vulnerable member of our community with the care they need and deserve.
**In-Kind Donations**
We also gratefully accept donated goods, including new infant car seats (in box) and pregnancy support garments/belly bands (new or gently used) for families in our perinatal program. To arrange a drop-off, contact us at 530-603-7112 or donate@communicareole.org.
**Volunteers**
Since our founding as an all-volunteer organization in 1972, volunteers including healthcare providers, community members, medical residents, interns, and students have been at the heart of our work. To donate your time, reach out to Volunteer@CommuniCareOLE.org.
