At Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, we believe you are more than a doctor, and we are more than a job. As an FQHC, we are a patient-centered medical home dedicated to serving our communities. Taking care of a patient's health means caring for them with compassion. We treat our patients how they want to be treated, regardless of where they live, where they are from, or what they can pay. Our doors are open to all, regardless of their citizenship status.

Hermiston, Oregon, is a thriving city in the eastern part of the state, known for its agricultural prowess and strong community spirit. It's often referred to as the "Watermelon Capital of the World" due to its bountiful watermelon crops. The city hosts the Umatilla County Fair, a popular event showcasing local agriculture and entertainment. Hermiston's location along the Columbia River offers opportunities for outdoor activities like boating and fishing. With a growing economy and a welcoming community, Hermiston is a great place to experience the charm of rural Oregon while enjoying modern amenities and outdoor adventures.

Our neighborhood centers offer affordable, high-quality care for families - their kids and grandparents. We help when they're hurting – and even when they're not. Whether they're about to be a mom for the first time, trying to soothe their 6-year-old's toothache, helping their homebound grandmother get her medicine, or deciding the best foods to feed their family. We can even help when they're looking for work or trying to keep their home warm in the wintertime. We're here for our communities.

All in one place.

We are who we are because of our migrant farmworkers. These short clips share a glimpse of our dedication to our communities, our health, and our families:
