Our Patients, Our Clinics, Our Jobs Are AT RISK!
At Clinica Sierra Vista, we believe everyone should have access to quality healthcare nearby. Proposition 44 could affect community health centers across California, potentially reducing investments in patient care, workforce growth, technology, and community programs.
Get the facts, stay updated, and vote with confidence.


California Organizations and Clinics Oppose Prop 44
California Teachers Association, California Primary Care Association, Association of California Healthcare Districts, California Chamber of Commerce, California Hospital Association, and California Medical Association all joined the opposition, along with hundreds of clinics statewide.
Clinica Sierra Vista has served the Central Valley for more than 50 years. We’re already held accountable through federal reporting, independent audits, and a patient-majority governing board. Prop 44 doesn’t add real accountability. It adds risk for the patients who depend on us.
