THE ESPARTO-CAPAY VALLEY REGION IN WESTERN YOLO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA INCLUDES THE RURAL COMMUNITIES OF MADISON, ESPARTO, CAPAY, BROOKS, GUINDA AND RUMSEY. THE REGION COVERS APPROXIMATELY 273 SQUARE MILES WITH A POPULATION OF ABOUT 5,077 PERSONS. HISTORICALLY, THE REGION HAS STRUGGLED WITH INADEQUATE HEALTH CARE. EVEN VERY BASIC CARE WAS MARGINALIZED, AVAILABLE PART-TIME, AND SEVERELY LIMITED IN SCOPE; DENTAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND CHRONIC HEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN SPARSE TO NON-EXISTENT. THE RURAL REGION IS ETHNICALLY DIVERSE INCLUDING 54% OF THE POPULATION HISPANIC, 39% CAUCASIAN, AND 7% OTHER ETHNICITIES, INCLUDING NATIVE AMERICANS AND 2-ETHNICITY (MIXED ETHNIC) FAMILIES. THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS OVER 940 STUDENTS AND REPORTS THAT 87% OF THESE STUDENTS QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH. PROFICIENCY LEVELS ARE 20% FOR MATH AND 27% FOR READING. THE MADISON MIGRANT CENTER OPENS ANNUALLY BETWEEN APRIL AND OCTOBER TO ASSIST WITH THE AGRICULTURAL SURGE OF ACTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE REGION; THIS ADDS ANOTHER 90 FAMILIES TO THE MADISON COMMUNITY WHICH IS ALREADY CLASSIFIED AS A “FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED UNDERSERVED AREA” AND HAS A MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME THAT IS ONLY 50% OF THE CALIFORNIA AVERAGE. REGIONAL RESIDENTS WITH AN EDUCATION ATTAINMENT LEVEL OF A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR LESS REPRESENT OVER 40-60% OF THE POPULATION IN THE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE REGION; THOSE RESIDENT ADULTS WHO HAVE OBTAINED A BACHELOR DEGREE OR HIGHER ARE LESS THAN 25% IN ANY COMMUNITY. MANY SENIORS OVER AGE 65 ALSO LIVE IN THE REGION, STAYING ON FARMS OR IN COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY HAVE ALWAYS LIVED. THE CVHCC WILL HOST MULTIPLE SERVICES IN ONE LOCATION FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN ESPARTO AND THROUGHOUT THE CAPAY VALLEY. THE NEW 28,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING WILL BE A HUB FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES AND WILL ALLOW THE PEOPLE ON THE RURAL, WESTERN SIDE OF YOLO COUNTY TO ACCESS HEALTH SERVICES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THE YOCHA DEHE WINTUN NATION, AN INDEPENDENT, SELF-GOVERNED TRIBAL NATION LOCATED IN THE SERVICE AREA HAS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING $15 MILLION DOLLARS TO CONSTRUCT THE NEW HEALTH AND COMMUNITY CENTER. PRIMARY HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, DENTAL AND PHARMACY SERVICES WILL BE OFFERED FULL TIME BY WINTERS HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION (WHF), A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER. RISE INC.
