Strategy & Tactics in Sacramento

CommuniCare+OLE posts 9 p.m. perinatal and integrated-care hours plus evening dental access at Salud Clinic

CommuniCare+OLE's current Salud Clinic page, observed July 16, lists its West Sacramento site at 500 B Jefferson Boulevard. Primary care and integrated behavioral health operate 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with Tuesday and Thursday evening hours until 9 p.m. Perinatal and women's health operates until 9 p.m. Tuesday; dental care until 8 p.m. Thursday; and behavioral health 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m. weekdays. The page also posts after-hours lines for an on-call nurse and for a midwife serving pregnant and postpartum patients with a medical problem, in labor, or traveling to the hospital. This is a standing schedule, not a launch or expansion date. It does not establish real-time appointments, walk-in availability, response times, emergency-service capability, staffing or FTE, capacity, visits, wait times, funding, or outcomes. The displayed pharmacy schedule appears internally inconsistent and is excluded; users should confirm current access.

WellSpace Health + Sacramento County Break Ground on 13-Acre Integrated Campus — First Medi-Cal/Uninsured Integrated Healthcare Site in Region

Sacramento County and WellSpace Health broke ground April 7, 2026 on a 13-acre integrated behavioral, dental, and physical healthcare campus in South Sacramento's Little Saigon community. WellSpace — the region's largest FQHC serving 1,400+ patients/day across 30+ sites in Sacramento/Placer/Amador — is partnering with the county on what would be the first integrated campus explicitly designed for Medi-Cal and uninsured residents. The groundbreaking is significant because it counterbalances the heavy crisis narrative: a major county-FQHC workforce pipeline investment launching amid $26M HHS rescissions and a projected $101M Sacramento County FY26-27 deficit. Shows the county-FQHC partnership model as a viable resilience strategy.
