HealthForce

Impacting lives by increasing health access and healthcare workforce development.

Our Mission

HealthForce aims to positively impact lives through community collaboration by strengthening a diverse healthcare workforce and increasing access to care.

Our focus includes increasing accessible healthcare in rural communities, identifying and addressing community needs for healthcare access, increasing licensed and certified providers through needs assessments and working collaboratively with community leaders to expand student opportunities to explore healthcare fields.

HealthForce has two primary focuses to achieve its goals: Workforce Development and Health Access.

Workforce Development

Pathway Advisement

In order to create a strong healthcare workforce we need good communication between educators and the healthcare industry partners. Each entity is doing well within their own realm, but the communication bridge between partners is lacking. Expanding and strengthening those pathways is a focus of HealthForce.

Education

Creating a stronger healthcare workforce begins with educating local students, locally. Students who call the Central Valley home are most likely to stay working in the Central Valley. By beginning healthcare career education at an earlier age we can better prepare our local students for healthcare careers locally.

Rural Access

A focus of HealthForce is to bring healthcare to those that are currently not able to access healthcare. Rural communities have some of the lowest rates of access. As we work with community leaders we can create more opportunities for individuals to access care closer to home.

Spanish Language Access

When a medical provider does not speak the language or understand the culture of a patient, the chances of that patient receiving the health treatment they require significantly decreases. As we work to create better Spanish language access the health of the population will significantly improve.

Our logo- The HealthForce Shield

The shield represents strength, when community members come together they become stronger. The shield represents what HealthForce embodies. In the bottom left is an image of gears. Just as gears will not work alone, neither will HealthForce. We achieve our goals by collaborating within our community. In the top right is an image of hands holding a heart. At HealthForce we carry a genuine concern for our community, our mission is done in the pursuit of compassion. The colors purple and gold were chosen for the sense of royalty we believe our clients are entitled to.
