Our History

Ampla Health is a network of Migrant and Community Health Centers serving farm-workers and other low-income populations. Serving six counties (Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba) counties providing comprehensive primary medical, dental, mental health and specialty care to an ethnically diverse population, including migrant and seasonal farm workers with 13 medical and 6 dental centers.

Ampla Health originated in 1964, in the form of a medical care project for migrant farm workers under the State Farm Workers Health Service and Migrant Health Act Fund. The original organization was known as the Sutter-Yuba Farm Workers Health Project, and the County of Sutter was grantee for the funds. It was operated as a night clinic in the Sutter County General Hospital.

In the Spring of 1973, the Consumer Advisory Board incorporated as a non-profit organization, at the suggestion of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, to become Northern Sacramento Valley Rural Health Project, Inc. Under this corporation status the agency became a grantee for the 1973-74 Migrant Health Act Funds and continued to provide quality health care services. As a result of additional funding, a Executive Director was hired and the direct client service deliverables expanded to include Butte, Colusa, and Glenn Counties.

In June 2011, the corporate name changed to Ampla Health. Ampla Health continues to be a proactive community partner while focusing on the individual needs each community.
