#TeamMCC hosted a wonderful mobile mammography event yesterday! Our friends from Alinea Medical Imaging brought their state-of-the-art equipment and provided on-site screenings, while Partnership HealthPlan joined us to answer questions and share helpful resources.

Despite the gloomy weather,El Mitote Cafe brightened everyone’s spirits with delicious coffees and drinks and big smiles. Each patient received a free drink of her choice, along with a gift bag.

Thanks to our amazing Quality Improvement Team for creating such a warm, welcoming environment for our patients — and congratulations to everyone involved for completing 32 mammograms in one day!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month may be wrapping up, but the message is important year-round: early detection saves lives.

MCC’s Kei Velazquez, NP, explains the importance of raising awareness and making breast cancer screening accessible for everyone in our community.

Congratulations to our Pediatrics team!

Late last month, they were honored by Partnership HealthPlan of California for their outstanding quality of care. Out of clinics across 24 counties, MCC’s Pediatrics department scored an impressive 92%, placing them in the top 20 clinics measured statewide.

This recognition highlights what we see every day – our pediatric staff going above and beyond to make sure our community’s children and families receive the #bestcareanywhere. From routine checkups to supporting families through more complex health needs, their commitment shines through in every visit.

We are so proud of this incredible team and the difference they make in our community!

MCC’s Executive Director, Lucresha Renteria, was invited to speak on the panel at the Board of Supervisors’ Health Summit on September 10. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how financial changes may affect health programs and services within Mendocino County, as well as sharing information and developing collaborative strategies to respond to these challenges. Lucresha’s portion starts at about the 1:57:40 mark in the video.
