Alexander Valley Healthcare

What Alexander Valley Healthcare does

Alexander Valley Healthcare (AVH), legally Coppertower Family Medical Center Inc., is a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Cloverdale, California. Designated as an FQHC in 2013 under 42 U.S.C. 254b, AVH delivers integrated primary medical care, general dentistry, behavioral health services, same-day access appointments, Medicare wellness visits, and teen health services to residents of Northern Sonoma and Southern Mendocino Counties. The organization is the sole primary care provider in the 70-mile corridor between Ukiah and Healdsburg and operates three Cloverdale locations: a medical center at 6 Tarman Drive, a dental and administrative office at 100 West 3rd Street, and an administrative office at 106 E. 1st Street.

AVH's revenue model blends patient service revenue billed to Medicare, Medi-Cal, and private insurance at FQHC-enhanced PPS reimbursement rates, federal Health Center Program grants under 42 U.S.C. 254b, state and local grants (including a recent $3.5 million California state award and Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program funding), and tax-deductible community donations. The organization operates a sliding-fee discount program for uninsured and underinsured patients earning at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, regardless of insurance status. Supporting technology is conventional healthcare IT, including an eClinicalWorks patient portal and Video Remote Interpreting for non-English speaking patients.

The organization is currently executing a major capacity expansion: construction of a new 27,000-square-foot, two-story Health & Wellness Center on a 2.8-acre parcel purchased in downtown Cloverdale in October 2022, with a total project cost of approximately $38 million, of which $7.7 million has been raised. The new facility is expected to roughly double patient capacity to 7,000-8,000 unique patients and add urgent care, on-site pharmacy, laboratory services, and expanded behavioral health capacity. AVH is governed by a community-consumer board with majority patient representation and is recognized by HRSA, the American Heart Association, and NCQA for quality performance.
