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 expand its community outreach program this spring. This important program goes beyond health center walls to meet vulnerable people where they are: in shelters, encampments, farmworker centers, schools - all the places they work and live. The first step toward a healthy life is getting patients through our doors and connected with our care teams, and our outreach team is vital to this effort.
Everyone who supports CommuniCare+OLE on BDOG is responsible for connecting a vulnerable member of our community with the healthcare they need and deserve. As new patient visits decrease due to fears surrounding gender, orientation, income, and immigration status, expanding our presence in the community is more urgent than ever. If everyone who views our page gives just $10, we will reach our goal of tripling our outreach and connecting over 500 new patients with high-quality medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare.
Thank you to our wonderful community - we couldn't do this without you!
Other funding priorities include:
• Smile Savers program, which provides in-school oral health education and basic dental services to children, with the goal of preventing costly and irreversible tooth and gum disease in adulthood.

• Food As Medicine program, providing nutrition education and empowers patients to grow, access, and prepare healthy food in our clinic-based garden as part of our chronic disease management and prevention efforts.
• Perinatal program, which includes comprehensive services for prenatal and postpartum care; and provides free of charge car seats, baby carriers, and baby wraps to new parents.
