Long Valley Health Center

What Long Valley Health Center does

Long Valley Health Center is a not-for-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) founded in 1978 in Laytonville, California, serving Northern Mendocino County. The organization operates a single physical clinic at 50 Branscomb Road with a staff of over 40 full-time and part-time members including physicians, advanced practitioners, a dental team, and a behavioral health team, serving a record 3,000+ patients in its most recent year. Long Valley Health Center provides an integrated care portfolio spanning primary care, chronic care management, pediatrics, reproductive health, dental services (via the Long Valley Dental Clinic), behavioral health, chiropractic, case management, telemedicine via Doxy.me, and Remote Patient Monitoring. As a Patient-Centered Medical Home, it was the first clinic in California to receive NCQA Distinction in Behavioral Health Integration (2018/2019) and has received HRSA Addressing Social Risk Factors Awards for three consecutive years.

The underlying technology stack is third-party and standard for community health centers: eClinicalWorks EHR with the healow patient portal app (practice code AECBBA), healow Pay for online bill payment, and Doxy.me for secure video visits requiring no patient downloads. Remote Patient Monitoring uses WiFi-enabled devices (e.g., blood pressure cuffs) that electronically transmit vitals to the care team. The center provides free wheelchair-accessible transportation for patients across Laytonville, Willits, and Ukiah, materially extending effective service radius in a rural catchment.

The business model combines fee-for-service billing across Medi-Cal, Medicare, Partnership Health Plan, and most private insurance with a sliding-scale fee schedule for uninsured patients (minimum charge per visit) and supplemental federal funding from the US Department of Health and Human Services under PHS deemed status. Additional revenue and capacity come from federal, state, and local grants that funded the 2024 facility renovations. Go-to-market is community-led and direct-to-consumer: same-day appointments, extended Wednesday hours, biennial Community Health Needs Assessments, partnerships with Laytonville Healthy Start, local food banks, MCAVHN Care and Prevention Network, and Mendocino County community organizations, plus social media presence and a Squarespace-hosted website. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with no equity ownership, no parent company, and no venture investors.
