Clinica Sierra Vista, a large chain of clinics for low-income residents, was named Nonprofit of the Year for the 32nd Assembly District this week by Assemblyman Rudy Salas, D-Bakersfield.

“Nonprofits like Clinica Sierra Vista fill a vital healthcare need in our community,” Salas said in a news release. “For a generation, Clinica Sierra Vista has demonstrated a commitment to delivering quality rural health care and providing hundreds of health-related jobs throughout the region.”

Clinica started out in 1970 as a small, rural health program and has since grown to be one of the largest, comprehensive migrant health center systems in the state, offering medical, dental and behavioral health care in Kern, Fresno and Inyo counties, the release said.

It also has programs targeting high-risk youth, is part of community partnerships and operates two mobile units providing medical and dental services to the homeless and school programs.

“Making a difference in the lives of Central Valley families through quality health-care delivery has been meaningful and fulfilling work to be a part of,” Clinica CEO Steve Schilling said in the release. “We are deeply honored by this recognition and will continue to work tirelessly to meet the needs of the families we serve.”
