Ampla Health is a 501 (c)3 non-profit network of community-based Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) offering comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral health, pediatrics, chiropractic and specialty healthcare services in Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba counties.
Ampla Health inspires patients to take an active role in their healthcare needs by participating in prevention, wellness, and chronic care programs that can assist with healthier lifestyles. We also encourage patients to select a primary care provider of choice to help them access the best care available. 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.
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.
Ampla Health was once a network of Migrant and Community Health Centers serving farm-workers and other low-income populations, but now serves all people regardless of their ability to pay. Serving six counties; Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba. Providing comprehensive primary medical, dental, behavioral health, pediatric, chiropractic and specialty care to an ethnically diverse population, including migrant and seasonal farm workers with 14 medical and 6 dental centers.

My best friend had MediCal insurance, and was assigned to a doctor at this facility when she became ill. She spent the next 3 years, receiving treatment for consitipation. It wasn't until the pain became intolerable, that I insisted she go to the emergency room at the hospital. It was there she was told there was a large mass of faeces above her abdomen and was diagnosed as having stage 4 rectal cancer. I can't help but think...if the doctor hadn't wasted the last 3 years of her life treating her for simple constipation, rather than persuing a proper diagnosis, they might have caught it sooner, and she'd still be alive. Not much faith in this place, nor did I appreciate watching her being treated as a second-class citizen!

Worst place we have ever been. Took my son here today for an spot at 1130 that they had scheduled and they told me to come back at one because the dr wanted to take lunch. So I came back and in the children's play area there is pee everywhere, it's really dirty. The customer service here is so ridiculous. Super unfriendly. Seriously will be switching places for my son to be seen. Super gross here.
