The Virginia Garcia Memorial
Foundation and Health Center re
cently celebrated 35 years o f serv
ing the community during an Am
bassadors o f Hope fundraiser to
support their community clinics.
More than 30,000 individuals
each year get high quality, compre
hensive and culturally appropriate
primary health care at Virginia Garcia
clinics in Beaverton, Hillsboro and
other locations in Washington and
Yamhill counties.
Virginia Garcia has developed a
strong reputation in the community
for delivering the highest quality
health care to some o f the most
vulnerable populations in the re
gion, regardless o f individuals' abil
ity to pay.
"For more than three decades,
the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health
Center has worked diligently to re
spond to the needs o f low income
and uninsured," said Sen. Ron
Wyden, in recognizing the health
provider’s achievement.
Virginia Garcia's first clinic started
in 1975 in a three-car garage in
Cornelius. The organization has
grown since then to meet the chang
ing needs o f the community. It now
serves patients in over 60 languages
at six locations. Virginia Garcia has
thrived because o f the support o f
individuals and corporations. Part
nerships with local businesses and
individuals in the community have
enabled Virginia Garcia to increase
access to high quality care.
Ambassadors o f Hope will sup
port the health center's ability to
continue to serve community mem
bers in need and expand access to
care for the over 100,000 uninsured
Oregonians in their service area.
