Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center

What Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center does

Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center is a private, non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1975 in Cornelius, Oregon, following the death of Virginia Garcia from a preventable medical condition. Headquartered in Hillsboro, the organization provides high-quality, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate primary healthcare to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and other underserved populations across Washington and Yamhill counties. It operates 17 clinic locations including 5 school-based health centers and a mobile clinic, employing more than 650 mission-driven staff and serving 48,320 unique patients with 164,518 total visits in 2024.

The organization's core offering is an integrated, whole-person care model delivered through a Patient Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) framework, combining medical, dental, pharmacy, behavioral health, reproductive health, and wellness services under one roof. Technology infrastructure includes the EPIC electronic health records system, an OCHIN-powered MyChart patient portal, and a telemedicine platform. The organization also operates Cultivar, a wholly-owned consulting subsidiary offering organizational effectiveness, leadership coaching, and change management services to other mission-driven nonprofits. Virginia Garcia maintains strategic partnerships with Pacific University, Asian Health and Service Center, local high schools and universities, and dozens of community organizations.

Revenue is generated through a multi-stream model: federal HHS funding as an FQHC, patient service revenue from medical/dental/pharmacy/behavioral health visits, the 340B drug pricing program yielding savings on pharmaceuticals, and a sliding-scale fee program for uninsured and underinsured patients. Pricing accepts most insurance plans including Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid). The organization reports $187.9 million in total economic impact, $80 million in Medicaid savings, and $99 million in healthcare system savings in 2024, reflecting both direct operations and downstream community value. Workforce development programs, Patient Advisory Councils, and a farmworker outreach program round out the community engagement layer.
