Comunity Health Clinic Ole

Description

Community Health Clinic Ole (Clinic Ole) was founded in 1972 to provide health care to the resident and migrant agricultural workers in Napa County. With no County hospital and no County-provided primary health services, these low-income, uninsured individuals had nowhere to go for affordable health care. We began providing health services with volunteer physicians and staff from St. Helena and Queen of the Valley Hospitals in a small room above La Luna Market in Rutherford. Today, Clinic Ole is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and the only nonprofit community clinic in the County.

Kathy is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. She has over 25 years experience in nutrition with an emphasis in diabetes and perinatal nutrition. Her past experience includes working with the California Diabetes and Pregnancy Program where she was involved in reviewing practice guidelines for perinatal diabetes care and in developing educational materials. She gained years of experience working with the Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program while she was at Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo.

Healthy Moms and Babies joined the Clinic Ole family in 2009. Healthy Moms and Babies was founded in 1988 by neonatologist Dr. Robert Losey. Healthy Moms and Babies is the only State-approved Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program. It provides coordinated prenatal care to low-income women. Healthy Moms and Babies serves over 750 women each year, accounting for half of all births in Napa County. Healthy Moms and Babies works closely with all private Napa County obstetricians and certified nurse midwives who provide direct medical care to our clients in their private offices.

The Clinic Ole Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation EIN 68-0149424, was established in 1987 to provide financial support for Clinic Ole for ongoing operations, for special projects and to create a lasting reserve fund that will help ensure the long-term financial health of Community Health Clinic Ole.
