Case Study: Casa De Amigos Health Center

Decent Essays
Casa de Amigos Health Center operates out of 2 buildings. Currently when it rains, the parking lot between both buildings floods. When flooding occurs, patients and staff must walk through water to access the main building. The standing water is a major safety hazard for the patients we serve. Our patient population includes the elderly, the physically handicapped, children, and pregnant women. The standing water usually remains stagnant for 1-2 days. Once the water drains away mud is left behind; this also is a safety concern for our patients and staff that must travel through the parking lot for care.

    As a lifelong resident of the Napa Valley I have always admired Clinic OLE'S dedication to the community. For many of us in the community "La Clinica Ole" was the only medical resource available, not only for its affordability, but also from a cultural/language comfort aspect. The doctors and staff were the only ones that offered the community a safe place where they could be cared for. It has been wonderful to witness how Clinic Ole has developed over the years, from a small traveling operation to its current sites and multiple locations. I understand the demand is still high and the need for expansion is still needed, and I would like to be part of it and help the organization meet its goals.…
