Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic

Originally operating out of a modest plywood house, the organization has grown to over 40 clinics across Washington and Oregon, serving more than 200,000 patients annually. In Clatskanie, OR, the facility operates as Clatskanie Community Health Center, offering a range of primary and preventive health services to the local rural community. YVFWC utilizes a Patient Centered Medical Home model with integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health services, on-site nutrition counseling, and social services. The system uses Epic EMR to support coordinated care. The organization's holistic approach extends beyond traditional clinical services to include assistance with shelter, energy, weatherization, HIV and AIDS counseling, home visits, and mobile medical/dental clinics. Nurses at this organization work within a mission-driven framework that emphasizes serving those most in need, regardless of their ability to pay. The Clatskanie location currently has an opening for a part-time, on-call Registered Nurse (Relief), classified as non-exempt with no relocation assistance offered. This suggests the role is designed to provide flexible coverage support rather than a full-time benefited position, which may appeal to nurses seeking supplemental or per-diem work in a rural community health setting.

Mission: 'Together we transform our communities through compassionate, individualized care, eliminating barriers to health and well-being.' The organization values inclusivity, community commitment, meeting people where they are, and respecting each person's unique needs. Employees from CEO to receptionists share a vision of serving those most in need, giving a voice to those who have none, and treating every patient regardless of ability to pay.
