2018 brought both threats and opportunities to health centers
across the country. We saw ongoing challenges to key provisions
of the Affordable Care Act which expanded access to health
coverage for millions of Californians.
And while the number of uninsured
people fell sharply across the
state, CommuniCare Health Centers
continued to see many patients who
still did not have healthcare coverage –
more than 20 percent of our patients.
Last year alone, CommuniCare delivered $2.9 million dollars of
uncompensated care for this vulnerable population. Their health care
is now at even more risk due to new federal regulations around public
charge. We have seen patients who are fearful to enroll in coverage
and hesitant to access services. As if that was not enough, a new
threat came in the form of regulations around Title X funding (Title X
funding helps us provide comprehensive family planning and related
preventive health services to low-income families or uninsured
people who might not otherwise have access to these health
care services) – which would impose a gag rule for reproductive
health counseling, and could severely impact other women’s health
services in our clinics.
In the face of these challenges, the leadership and employees of
CommuniCare have become even more resolute and grounded in the
L E A D E R S H I P M E S S A G E
delivery of our mission – providing high-quality health care to anyone
in need, in a supportive, safe environment. We remain committed to
the underlying philosophy that health care is a right, not a privilege,
and we continue to deliver on that promise. As one
dental patient stated in December, 2018: “They greet
me with a smile…make me feel at home…and give
me hope.” Not only did our organization serve one
in eight Yolo County residents last year, but we pro-
vided premier quality services. Partnership Health
Plan ranked CommuniCare in the top five– out of 123
providers in its network– for clinical quality in 2018; we
are proud to receive this recognition for our hard work.
We cannot do this hard work alone. We depend on
our team and on you– our community, our advocates,
and those who help sustain us – to provide ongoing
support, so that we may continue in our delivery of impressive patient
care. As we enter our 47th year at CommuniCare Health Centers,
we are grateful for your encouragement, assistance and partnership
throughout the year.

The health center movement
began in the 1950’s during a
remarkable time in history when
community health activists and
civil rights activists fought to
improve the lives and access
to healthcare for Americans
living in poverty. The health
center model that emerged
targeted the roots of poverty by combining resources of local
communities with federal funds to establish neighborhood clinics
in both rural and urban areas across America. This formula not
only empowered communities to establish and direct health
services at the local level, but it also generated compelling
proof that affordable and accessible health care produced
compounding benefits.
CommuniCare Health Center’s story began in 1972 and during
the last 47 years, a strong and growing foundation enabled us to
expand services and provide access to more than 27,000 patients
per year, serving one in eight Yolo County residents.
Yolo County mirrors the rest of the country in some ways:
health centers were historically led by a small number of
community health and social justice pioneers, many of whom are
retiring and leaving the field after decades of commitment.
These inspiring leaders
leave in their path a new
generation of leaders ever
committed to serving vulner-
able populations – with new
eyes, a twist of innovation,
and an appetite for advocacy.
For CommuniCare, sus-
tainability and maintaining
the highest quality of care for our patients continues to
be our top priority. When long-standing CEO Robin Affrime
announced her retirement after nearly thirty-five years with
CommuniCare, the Board of Directors committed to a national
search to find her replacement.
When the new Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Melissa Marshall,
who served as CommuniCare’s Chief Medical Officer since 2015,
was selected, she committed to building and maintaining a strong,
passionate and devoted team charged with leading CommuniCare
into the next era of community health.
The Leadership Team at CommuniCare has some new faces but
remains steadfast in its commitment to CommuniCare’s mission.
We pride ourselves on diversity in thought and experience, along
with new perspectives and innovative approaches to best serve
our patients and community. We’d like to take this opportunity to
introduce you to our Leadership team.

Specifically, the program applies
the principles of restorative justice
and trauma-informed care.
In 2018, CommuniCare began our Steps to Success (S2S)
Program. S2S is a voluntary criminal justice diversion program with
a restorative justice component, funded by Proposition 47. The S2S
Program is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team that includes
participation from Yolo County Probation, Yolo County’s Health
and Human Services, Empower Yolo, the District Attorney’s Office,
Public Defender’s Office, Legal Services of Northern California,
and CommuniCare Health Centers. S2S provides assistance to
individuals seeking help with mental health and/or substance use
disorders linked to their criminal behavior. The S2S program provides
case management, substance use/mental health treatment, civil-
legal services, employment assistance,
transportation, and housing assistance.
Specifically, the program applies the
principles of restorative justice and
trauma-informed care to provide wrap-
around services to individuals who are
eligible for a diversion program but are
unlikely to succeed without intensive
supports, due to their history and current
issues with mental health and/or sub-
stance use disorders. In spring of 2019,
the S2S Program hosted its first graduation
ceremony, where two clients demonstrated
self sustainability, successful employment,
mental health stability and a desire for lasting life change!
The S2S Program proudly boasts a zero percent recidivism rate
(incarceration) for clients who have successfully completed the final
Restorative Justice component of the program.

The Healthy Living with Diabetes program offers
Group Medical Visits (GMVs), office visits with a
Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian, along
with home visits for patients with diabetes. A team
within the Health Promotion and Wellness Department
coordinates routine GMVs at each of our primary clinic
sites which bring together patients who share the di-
agnosis, a medical provider, and health educators.
Through shared dialogue and health educa-
tion the GMV format inspires social support,
increases knowledge and skills for disease
management, and improves patient’s
access to medical care. Partnerships with the Yolo
Food Bank and local farms connect patients with free
fresh fruits and vegetables. This distribution improves access
to healthy foods essential for patient health, and culinary edu-
cation equips patients with skills to prepare foods in new and
delicious ways. According to one GMV participant: “I denied
diabetes for a long time… This class made me wake up to do
something about diabetes and to take it seriously.” In 2018,
fourteen GMVs were held, and patients that participated in more
than one Healthy Living with Diabetes activity were statistically
shown to reduce their hemoglobin A1Cs more than patients who
did not participate. In 2019, the goal is to scale this proven
approach and provide more than 100 GMVs in order to support
more patients with a diabetes diagnosis leading to improved
management of blood sugar levels.
Pat ient Experience: 9 out of 10 patients
in 2018 rated their visit
as “excellent” or “good”
in our post-visit patient
satisfaction survey.

Our 208 volunteers and

12,000 hours of service to
CommuniCare Health Centers
in 2018 – a value of more
than $350,000. Founded as
an all-volunteer clinic in 1972,
CommuniCare volunteers and
students continue to make up
an impressive segment of the
workforce. CommuniCare em-
braces the contributions of
volunteers and students; they are vital in supporting our ability to
serve the most vulnerable in our community, and they are welcomed
at all levels of the organization. This past year, CommuniCare
embarked on the year-long process of becoming a model volunteer
organization through Service Enterprise certification. These
organizations are known leaders in volunteer engagement and
are able to achieve wonderful outcomes for significantly less cost,
because of a strong volunteer workforce. An AmeriCorps Fellow
is working alongside CommuniCare staff in building sustainable
infrastructure to ensure meaningful volunteer engagement – which
inspires hard work and a drive to meet our mission.

More than 280 CommuniCare employees contribute to meeting
our mission every day – providing compassionate and accessible
care for all members of our diverse community. Our employees
are as diverse in language, culture and ethnicity as our patient
population; with more than sixty percent of our workforce being
bilingual. In 2018, 44 employees had the opportunity to grow
into new positions here, as we strive to develop our employees
and hire from within when possible. What else demonstrates
opportunity, positive engagement and connection to the
work we do? Consistently strong positive employee
engagement survey results, an
average tenure of more than
five years of employment, and
a markedly low turnover rate
of 12.3 percent, compared to
26.4 percent for similar organ-
izations in California in 2018.
“Treating Patients with CARE” training
for all employees has enhanced our ability
to improve patient experiences – our goal is to
provide impressive care which improves patient
outcomes; and in return we gain appreciation from
our patients and clients which is most gratifying.

CommuniCare has always been a learning site for health care
trainees, since its early days as the Davis Free Clinic, when
UC Davis residents (physicians in training) were a large part
of the workforce. Today, all staff pro-
viders at CommuniCare are licensed
and board-certified, but we continue
to be very involved in the training
of future health care providers. This
year, eleven family medicine resi-
dents (physicians who have completed
medical school but are in their final
years of training in their specialty)
have continuity clinic supervision here,
supervised by our staff. We also
hosted more than ten medical students in our sites,
along with other health professional trainees including
midwifery students, physician assistant students, nurse prac-
titioner students, medical assistant students, and social work
and family therapy students. Finally, the dental department
hosted thirty UC Davis undergraduate student interns to
expose them to careers in community dentistry. While learners
certainly benefit from their training at CommuniCare, our
clinical staff benefit from working with them as well. It helps
keep us on our toes with regards to current information, as
well as keeping us fresh and excited about our work. Learners
of all types bring enthusiasm and energy to the work they
do everyday.

bilingual. In 2018, 44 employees had the opportunity to grow
into new positions here, as we strive to develop our employees
and hire from within when possible. What else demonstrates
opportunity, positive engagement and connection to the
work we do? Consistently strong positive employee
engagement survey results, an
average tenure of more than
five years of employment, and
a markedly low turnover rate
of 12.3 percent, compared to
26.4 percent for similar organ-
izations in California in 2018.
“Treating Patients with CARE” training
for all employees has enhanced our ability
to improve patient experiences – our goal is to
provide impressive care which improves patient
outcomes; and in return we gain appreciation from
our patients and clients which is most gratifying.

CommuniCare has always been a learning site for health care
trainees, since its early days as the Davis Free Clinic, when
UC Davis residents (physicians in training) were a large part
of the workforce. Today, all staff pro-
viders at CommuniCare are licensed
and board-certified, but we continue
to be very involved in the training
of future health care providers. This
year, eleven family medicine resi-
dents (physicians who have completed
medical school but are in their final
years of training in their specialty)
have continuity clinic supervision here,
supervised by our staff. We also
hosted more than ten medical students in our sites,
along with other health professional trainees including
midwifery students, physician assistant students, nurse prac-
titioner students, medical assistant students, and social work
and family therapy students. Finally, the dental department
hosted thirty UC Davis undergraduate student interns to
expose them to careers in community dentistry. While learners
certainly benefit from their training at CommuniCare, our
clinical staff benefit from working with them as well. It helps
keep us on our toes with regards to current information, as
well as keeping us fresh and excited about our work. Learners
of all types bring enthusiasm and energy to the work they
do everyday.
