Help Give Healthy A New Address​

At CommuniCare+OLE, we are committed to the health and well-being of everyone in the Up Valley community. We believe that this new health center will help us build a healthier, stronger, and more connected community for all.

Our Current Efforts

At the heart of our current efforts is the Upper Valley Health Center in Calistoga, a critical initiative that will bring a new, state-of-the-art, 11,000-square foot healthcare campus to Calistoga. This new facility will address the overwhelming demand in the region for primary care, behavioral health, dental services, and much more. As the only healthcare provider in the Up Valley region that accepts Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal, Communicare+OLE is a lifeline for many.

Why this project matters:
