About Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center

Since 1975, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center has worked toward the vision that no one in Washington and Yamhill Counties lacks basic health care. The clinic was founded to honor the life and death of six-year old Virginia Garcia, who sustained a treatable foot wound while working in the fields with her migrant farm worker parents. Although attempts were made to treat her, the unavailability of cultural, economic and language-appropriate medical services ultimately led to her death. While retaining its key mission of meeting the needs of migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center now serves people from many cultural, linguistic, and vocational backgrounds. With clinics in Beaverton, Cornelius, Hillsboro, Tigard and McMinnville, Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center is dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality, culturally appropriate health care to low-income and uninsured residents of Washington and Yamhill counties. In the coming fiscal year, the center will provide primary health care, prenatal and obstetric care, dental services, and health education to approximately 30,000 individuals.
