Health Center Project
Project Manager
Beatrice Bostick
For the last thirteen years Beatrice has been CEO/Executive Director of community Health Clinic Ole in Napa County California. In those thirteen years she has built Clinic Ole from a non-profit medical clinic with two sites, twenty employees and a one million dollar budget to a $13 million dollar organization with eight sites, and 160 employees including medical and dental teams that provide 65,000 patient visits a year.
The clinic also applied for and achieved status as a Federally Qualified Health Center. Clinic Ole was asked to be the major participant in the project to raise funding and build a community health center building that would house four non-profit agencies, all of which provided services to the un- and underinsured population of Napa County. The goal of the project was not only a better facility for all agencies, but a facility that would be able to charge rents based solely on the cost of running the building, not market rates, thereby allowing tenants to use more of their funding for patient services rather than overhead. Beatrice was key in finding and securing the land for the building, recruiting the partnering organizations, identifying grant opportunities and helping with the design of the clinical and administrative space. Over the years all but one participating tenant has requested to merge with the clinic due to its administrative expertise and federal status, which included enhanced reimbursement for MediCal beneficiaries. Rents have stayed well under market rates and patient satisfaction is consistently higher than many similar organizations.
