We are passionate about helping people live healthier lives and believe each patient benefits by receiving high-quality medical, dental, social, and educational health services.

From Humble Beginnings

Ampla Health originated in 1964 in the form of a medical care project for migrant farm workers under the State Farm Workers Health Service and Migrant Health Act Fund. Known as the Sutter-Yuba Farm Workers Health Project, with the County of Sutter serving as grantee for the funds, it operated as a night clinic in the Sutter County General Hospital.

In spring 1973, the Consumer Advisory Board incorporated as a non-profit organization, at the suggestion of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, to become Northern Sacramento Valley Rural Health Project, Inc. This corporation became the grantee for the 1973-74 Migrant Health Act Funds and continued to provide the same basic health care services. With more funding and a full-time Executive Director, the service expanded from Sutter and Yuba Counties to Butte, Colusa, and Glenn Counties.

In June 2011, the corporate name was changed to Ampla Health to better reflect its commitment to the community.

Ampla Health originated in 1964, in the form of a medical care project for migrant farm workers under the State Farm Workers Health Service and Migrant Health Act Fund. The original organization was known as the Sutter-Yuba Farm Workers Health Project, and the County of Sutter was grantee for the funds.

In the Spring of 1973, the Consumer Advisory Board incorporated as a non-profit organization, at the suggestion of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, to become Northern Sacramento Valley Rural Health Project, Inc. Under this corporation status the agency became a grantee for the 1973-74 Migrant Health Act Funds and continued to provide quality health care services. As a result of additional funding, a Executive Director was hired and the direct client service deliverables expanded to include Butte, Colusa, and Glenn Counties.

In June 2011, the corporate name changed to Ampla Health. Ampla Health continues to be a proactive community partner while focusing on the individual needs of each community.
