IN THE NEWS: New funding is bringing six local organizations together to sustain and grow community-based services across northern Sonoma County. 🤝

The Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County has announced $365,000 in new funding from Sutter Health and the North Sonoma County Healthcare District to support the Northern Sonoma County Coalition.

This collaboration brings together six local organizations to expand access to care addressing housing, food access, transportation, and case management.

As providers transition into Medi-Cal’s CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal) system, this funding helps sustain and grow critical community-based services.

“By investing in collaboration, we are strengthening the entire ecosystem of care that supports northern Sonoma County residents. This funding allows us to help trusted local providers navigate the CalAIM transition together, so they can continue delivering culturally responsive, community-rooted services while securing long-term financial sustainability.”

Alexander Valley is grateful to those who advocate in support of community health centers like us! National Association of Community Health Centers

➡️ TAKE ACTION BEFORE THE MARCH 25 DEADLINE!

Send a letter urging your members of Congress to sign on to the Community Health Center Funding FY27 Appropriations letter today.

Each year, Congress must approve 30% of funding for Community Health Centers (CHCs). To secure this funding, we need to demonstrate strong bipartisan support. That’s why we’re asking every member of Congress to sign a letter calling for robust CHC funding.

The more members who sign, the stronger our message to Congressional leadership about the urgent need to support CHCs and the 52 million patients we serve.

We need your help to get your members of Congress to sign on!

Community Health Centers are a critical access point for oral health care in America.

In 2024 alone:
🦷 7 million patients relied on Community Health Centers for dental care
🦷 16.8 million dental visits were delivered nationwide
🦷 80% of health centers provided dental services

Yet two-thirds of patients still have unmet oral health needs, largely due to gaps in coverage and workforce shortages.

New analysis from the NACHC Dr. John W. Hatch Center for Science explores the role Community Health Centers play in delivering dental care—and what it will take to strengthen access moving forward.
