📸 In honor of our 50-year anniversary, we're taking a look back at the milestones that shaped who we are today.

In this photo from 2012, Dr. Linda Thomas-Hemak, staff, and community partners gather for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of our Mid Valley community health center. That year marked a major turning point as the health center transformed from its humble origins in a "little blue house" into the state-of-the-art facility it is today.

Today, our President and CEO, Dr. Linda Thomas-Hemak, joined national healthcare leaders in Washington, D.C., for a federal announcement on price transparency and affordability at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz introduced new regulations focused on lowering costs, increasing price transparency, and strengthening accountability. Expert panelists representing public and private stakeholders also discussed actionable ways to give patients and employers reliable information about the cost of care before services are delivered.

We’re proud to participate in national conversations about making healthcare more accessible, accountable, and transparent for patients, families, and communities.
