OLE Health

What OLE Health does

CommuniCare+OLE, the operating entity formed by the 2023 merger of OLE Health (Napa/Solano) and CommuniCare Health Centers (Yolo), is a non-profit network of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) operating 17 physical clinic sites across Napa, Solano, and Yolo Counties in Northern California. The network delivers integrated, whole-person primary care to more than 70,000 individuals annually — predominantly low-income, uninsured, under-insured, and immigrant residents — and does not turn patients away based on insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. Service lines include medical (acute care, family medicine, pediatrics, prenatal, sexual and reproductive health), dental, behavioral health and substance use treatment, optometry, podiatry, acupuncture, in-house pharmacy, nutrition and food distribution, care coordination/Enhanced Care Management, and mobile health and home-visiting programs; bilingual Spanish services and dedicated LGBTQ+ care are offered.

The underlying technology stack is centered on a third-party electronic health record patient portal — MyChart hosted by OCHIN (mychart.ochin.org/ccolemychart/) — for scheduling, records access, and provider messaging. The corporate website incorporates a third-party AI-based accessibility interface that remediates HTML, generates ARIA attributes, performs OCR on images, and provides multiple disability profiles to maintain WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. The organization has no public developer API and no proprietary clinical AI/ML product.

Revenue is generated through cost-based FQHC reimbursements from Medicaid (Medi-Cal), Medicare, and commercial payers; sliding-fee self-pay; 340B pharmacy revenue; fee-for-service specialty care (optometry, acupuncture, podiatry); and philanthropic fundraising through the OLE Health Foundation (Vida OLE! auction, Up Valley Capital Campaign, donations). The 1972 legacy, 17-site footprint, and FQHC designation together constitute the structural backbone of the business.

Revenue model

1. Federal Qualified Health Center Reimbursements: As a network of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), CommuniCare+OLE receives government reimbursements (e.g., Medicaid/Medicare, federal grants under the FQHC program) for providing primary care to underserved populations. Insurance and billing are accepted (Medi-Cal, Medicare, commercial).
2. Sliding-Fee / Self-Pay Patient Payments: Patients without insurance pay on a sliding-scale basis; no patient is turned away for inability to pay. Generates per-visit fee revenue.
3. Pharmacy Services: On-site pharmacy dispensing generates revenue from prescription fills and 340B drug pricing program (typical for FQHCs).
4. Donations and Foundation Fundraising: Operates the OLE Health Foundation with an Up Valley Capital Campaign, an annual Vida OLE! auction/gala, and a general donation program to fund capital projects and operations.
5. Optometry and Specialty Service Fees: Specialty services (optometry, acupuncture, podiatry) generate fee-for-service revenue.

The network delivers an integrated, whole-person care offering composed of distinct but interconnected service modules: Medical Services (Acute Care, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Prenatal Services, and Sexual & Reproductive Health), Dental, Behavioral Health (with embedded Substance Use Treatment and counseling), Specialty Services (Acupuncture, Optometry, Podiatry), Healthy Living programs (Diabetes Services, Food Distribution, Garden, Nutrition), Care Coordination and Enhanced Care Management, Mobile Medicine outreach, in-house Pharmacy, LGBTQ+ Care, Spanish-language services, and Enrollment Services. The OLE Health Foundation functions as a parallel fundraising arm supporting the network. Patient access is provided via the OCHIN-hosted MyChart patient portal, and no public developer API is offered.
