At a meeting of Napa Valley Latinos. a farmworker named Placido Garcia asked. "Why dont we have a health clinic in Napa?" Inspired by this question. a committed group of community members began working together and. just a few months later. Clinic Ole opened its doors for the first time on September 17. 1972. in a small building in Rutherford. It was the first clinic in the county to provide healthcare to the local and migrant agricultural workers of the Napa Valley community. The clinic has since grown by leaps and bounds. It began with only a few volunteer staff and physicians. but today has over 115 employees providing the highest quality medical and dental care to over 20.000 patients annually in the Napa Valley.
