The center provides a wide range of integrated services, including: Medical Services: This encompasses preventative care for adults and children (including physicals, screenings, lab work, well-child visits, and sports physicals), family medicine, immunizations, diagnosis and treatment of chronic and acute illnesses, women's healthcare services, and referrals for specialized care. Dental Services: They offer preventative and restorative care, as well as emergency dental services and referrals for specialized care. Behavioral Health Services: VVHC integrates behavioral health into their overall care model, addressing the emotional and social well-being of patients. Pharmacy Services: The center operates its own pharmacies, focusing on keeping prescription costs affordable and optimizing medication use in partnership with the patient care team. VVHC embraces a patient-centered medical home model, where qualified doctors, dentists, and providers work collaboratively to offer high-quality, whole-person care with compassion and respect. Their approach emphasizes improving all aspects of patient care, including safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity, while actively involving patients and families in their care plans. They also promote healthier lifestyles through education and preventative medicine. As an FQHC, Valley View Health Center serves a diverse patient population, including uninsured and under-insured individuals, low-income residents, and rural communities. They are governed by a board comprised of patients, local community members, and business leaders, ensuring that community needs are directly addressed.
