Community Outreach
Our vision for Round Valley is a safe, productive and positive environment that promotes health, well-being and positive relationships within families, which can then extend to relationships with the community at large.
What We Do
We understand that your health concerns continue after you leave the clinic and return home. Our Outreach Team is here to help bridge the gap between your medical visit at the Health Center and your needs at home.
Diabetes Case Management
Our Diabetes Education Nurse Mikael Aragon works one on one with each of our diabetes patients to help them understand how to better manage their health.
Community Diabetes Action Council
The Community Diabetes Action Council (CDAC) is a project of RVIHC’s Outreach Department. The goal of the CDAC is to educate and empower the Round Valley community of diabetes patients to manage their health for the best possible quality of life.
Public Health Services
Our staff works to assess and address community wide health needs. Public Health can include everything from vaccinations to addressing barriers to healthy eating and physical activity, to street medicine and at risk patients. Our staff works to optimize health for everyone in the valley.
