Our History
In the mid 1970's, an advisory board of Laytonville community members formed intending to start a health center for their community and the surrounding area. Their efforts led to the opening of the Long Valley Health Center in March of 1978. During this early stage, LVHC had one part-time doctor, a nurse, and three support staff who reported treating 79 patients in rented rooms inside of Laytonville's Garden Club building during their first month. LVHC became a Federally Qualified Health Center in 1986, and has since moved to Branscomb Rd and grown into what it is today, which includes the addition of a dental clinic. Our practice has over 40 full-time and part-time staff members, including physicians, advanced practitioners, a dental team, and a robust behavioral health team.
