$5 Million Awarded for Building a New Facility

5/14/2012

     In November 2011, I submitted my last grant as the CEO of Sonoma Valley Community Health Center prior to retiring. As the principal lead with a team of three, we developed and submitted the Affordable Care Act Capital Development - Building Capacity Grant. Six months later HRSA finally made the announcement: Sonoma Valley Community Health Center was awarded $5 million. The application was scored with a 98/100.
     I am ecstatic. It has been quite a longtime that the health center has been on the journey to build a new facility … It’s an outstanding opportunity to provide health care to more people in Sonoma Valley.
     In the article "Health Center Gets $5M Grant," posted in the Sonoma Index Tribune dated May 3, 2012, my previous board Chair stated, “This is an important legacy left by our former CEO Patricia Talbot. Without her unwavering faith and commitment to this project, SVCHC would not have been in a position to apply for, much less receive, a grant of this magnitude.”
    I am definitely proud to have left this legacy and driven these federal dollars into  our community. The project will create an estimate of 112 construction jobs and when the new building is complete, the center will be able to hire an additional 12  employees to meet the increased patient demands. A new dental clinic is planned as part of the new facility, bringing dental services finally to the uninsured, Medi-Cal and unserved population in Sonoma Valley. If interested in donating funds to complete the building project go to www.svchc.org or call   707 939-6071, ext. 204.
