CEO, Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic
David Vliet leads Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, one of the largest community health organizations in the Pacific Northwest, operating across Washington and Oregon with over 40 clinics and 600,000+ patient visits annually. Under his leadership, YVFWC has built an integrated delivery system model combining medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services with a deep commitment to agricultural worker communities. The organization is known for its workforce development pipeline and culturally responsive care.
Vliet runs one of the few FQHCs that has successfully scaled to 40+ sites while maintaining quality and cultural mission. His integrated delivery model — medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy under one roof — is the operational blueprint that mid-size FQHCs aspire to. His workforce pipeline and farmworker health expertise are directly relevant to California's agricultural regions.
