Long Valley Health Center Awards
2025 HRSA CHQR Awards
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awards Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) badges that recognize Health Centers that have made notable quality improvement achievements in the areas of access, quality, health outcomes, and health information technology. Long Valley Health Center has received awards every year since the HRSA CHQR program started in 2015.
In 2025, LVHC was awarded 3 Community Health Quality Recognition (CHQR) awards:
Improving Health Care Access
High-Value Care
Advancing HIT for Quality
LVHC received these awards because we:
Increased the total number of patients who received care in the last year by 11% from 2,466 to 2,734 patients
Exceeded the Quality Score based on the most improved quality measures in the top 20% of national health centers
Fell below the Percentage Cost Growth Benchmark based on the growth rate of total costs per patient in the top 30% of national health centers
Use Health Information Technology such as ePrescribing, Telehealth and a Patient Portal to increase access to quality care
LVHC was 1 of only 19 California clinics to be awarded the new High-Value Care award and the only clinic in Mendocino County to be awarded both the High-Value Care and Improving Health Care Access awards. Congratulations to our Care Teams!
