Valley Family Health Care

What Valley Family Health Care does

Valley Family Health Care is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) incorporated in 1982 (originally as Payette Health Care, Inc., renamed in 1988) and headquartered in Payette, Idaho. It operates 12 fixed clinic locations plus a Mobile Access Care (MAC) unit spanning three rural counties — Gem County and Payette County in Idaho and Malheur County in Oregon — providing integrated primary medical, dental, behavioral health, women's health, pediatric, and in-house pharmacy services on a sliding-fee basis regardless of insurance status. The organization is also designated as a National Health Service Corps (NHSC) site, enabling provider recruitment via federal loan repayment programs.

The operating model blends fee-for-service reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, and other private insurers with federal FQHC funding (HHS grant support and PHS deemed status for malpractice coverage), sliding-fee scale discounts, and a 340B-style prescription drug assistance program. Community Health Workers embedded at each site provide insurance enrollment and social-determinants navigation across a network of community resource partners (housing, food, legal aid, transportation). The technology stack is the OCHIN-hosted EMR with the MyChart patient portal for online scheduling, bill payment, and records access; telehealth is offered for selected services including behavioral health. The organization is governed by a community volunteer board, employs 101–250 staff, and has been led by CEO Ken Hart since August 2020. Recent operational milestones include the May 2025 opening of a second in-house pharmacy in Ontario, Oregon, and the January 2025 launch of prenatal and chronic-disease education programs.
