What Nuestra Clinica Del Valle (NCDV) does

Nuestra Clinica Del Valle, Inc. (NCDV) is a private nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered at 801 W. 1st Street, San Juan, Texas, incorporated in 1971 as the Migrant Program of the local Health Department and expanded to community-wide service in 1978. Operating 11 clinic locations across Hidalgo and Starr Counties in the Rio Grande Valley (nine in Hidalgo, two in Starr, including two school-based health centers), NCDV delivered care to 27,110 patients in 2019, with 82% having incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level and 80% having no public or private health insurance. The service area spans 2,793 square miles and a population of approximately 914,000 residents that is 91% Hispanic, with roughly one in three residents living below the poverty line.

The organization operates a single integrated primary-care delivery platform organized around the patient-centered medical home model, spanning Family & Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Dental, Behavioral Health (Integrated Behavioral Health model launched 2006), Pharmacy, Laboratory, Radiology, Nutrition, Social Services, and Outreach & Enrollment. Its technology stack consists of an eClinicalWorks (eCW Cloud) electronic patient record and patient portal for remote access to health records, telephone-based telemedicine visits for qualifying patients in family medicine, pediatrics and women's health, and on-site ancillary services including PCR COVID-19 testing at $51 per test. NCDV holds Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval accreditation and FTCA-deemed FQHC status with Federal Public Health Service deemed status for medical malpractice claims.

NCDV's revenue model is diversified across four streams: federal FQHC grant funding (HRSA Section 330) under HHS, patient services revenue reimbursed via Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP and most private insurance, sliding fee scale payments from uninsured patients based on federal poverty guidelines, and on-site pharmacy revenue including participation in Pfizer's RXPathways and other 340B-eligible prescription assistance programs. The organization is governed by a consumer-majority Board of Directors (51% consumer representation as required under FQHC statute) and is led by CEO Lucy Ramirez Torres, COO Jose B. Garcia Jr, CFO Jose Jameson, and CMO Carlos Medina, MD. Distribution is exclusively regional through direct patient care at clinic locations, telemedicine, and school-based sites, with no digital self-serve channel or app-based offering.
