Protect Access to Community Health Care:
Vote No on Prop 44
Long Valley Health Center joins community health centers, doctors, nurses, patients, and community leaders across California in opposing Proposition 44.
Prop 44 would require nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Centers to meet strict spending rules or face penalties. While it may sound simple, the measure could reduce funding for essential clinic operations and put patient services at risk.
Community health centers like LVHC provide medical, dental, behavioral health, prevention, outreach, translation, care coordination, transportation support, and other services that help patients access care close to home.
For rural communities, these services are not extra — they are essential.
Why We Oppose Prop 44
Prop 44 could:
Threaten access to care for patients who rely on community clinics
Force clinics to cut services, staffing, or hours
Put rural and underserved communities at greater risk
Increase pressure on emergency rooms when patients lose access to preventive care
Create unnecessary restrictions on clinics that are already highly regulated and audited
What This Means for Our Community
In communities like ours, local health centers are often one of the few places patients can receive affordable, accessible care. Cuts to clinic funding could affect real services that patients depend on every day.
LVHC is committed to protecting access to care for our patients, families, and neighbors.
