About CommuniCare+OLE

Established
in 2023, CommuniCare+OLE is the result of a union of two health centers with a
deep roots in their respective communities and reputations for providing
high-quality primary care to all, regardless of insurance or ability to pay:
OLE Health of Napa and Solano Counties and CommuniCare Health Centers of Yolo
County. Building on a legacy established by both organizations in 1972,
CommuniCare+OLE is a network of federally-qualified health centers with 17
sites across Napa, Solano, and Yolo Counties. It offers comprehensive care,
including medical, dental, behavioral health and substance use treatment,
nutrition, optometry, pharmacy, care coordination, referrals, and enrollment
assistance to more than 70,000 individuals, and no one is turned away due to
lack of insurance, immigration status, or ability to pay. Many services are
offered outside of its sites, including mobile health, home visiting, and
community and school-based programs.
