What Winters Healthcare Foundation does

Winters Healthcare Foundation (WHF) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Winters, California, that delivers integrated primary medical, dental, behavioral health, prenatal, and pharmacy services to approximately 3,200 to 4,000+ patients annually across southwestern Yolo County. Founded in 2000 by local farmers, retirees, and business owners and designated as an FQHC in 2005, the organization operates two clinical sites — a main health center at 172 E. Grant Ave., Winters and the 2024-opened Capay Valley Health and Community Center in Esparto — the latter a 28,000 sq. ft. facility co-located with social-services partner RISE Inc.

The service portfolio is anchored by a Patient-Centered Medical Home model adapted from Southcentral Foundation (Alaska) and emphasizes relationship-based, team-based care. Core products include primary care (including pediatrics and chronic disease management), comprehensive dental care, integrated behavioral health, prenatal and women's health with delivery at Woodland Memorial Hospital, teen health services via California's Family PACT program, and dedicated LGBTQIA+ services including gender-affirming hormone therapy. An on-site pharmacy at both sites dispenses to patients and community members and participates in the 340B Prescription Discount Program; an Education and Outreach department coordinates a promotoras (community health worker) program and partnerships with Vision y Compromiso.

WHF's revenue mechanics combine direct patient care billed to Medi-Cal, Medicare, and commercial plans (Western Health Advantage, United Health Care Medicare Advantage), 340B pharmacy spread, sliding-fee-scale payments from uninsured patients based on Federal Poverty Level guidelines, insurance-enrollment fees, and philanthropic donations including the annual Dinner on the Bridge fundraiser (which raised over $25,000 in 2024) and a Giving Tree engraving program. The organization is regulated by HRSA under FQHC grant H80CS04430, holds FTCA deemed status, achieved NCQA PCMH recognition in 2022, and received HRSA's 2023 Access Enhancer and Health Disparities Reducer awards. Patient demographics skew toward Spanish-speaking residents (52% of population, served by an 80% Spanish-speaking staff), agricultural workers (~30%), and uninsured or publicly insured individuals in rural Winters, Esparto, and the Capay Valley.
