#TeamMCC hosted our first-ever Saturday mammogram event, and it was a big success! We completed 30 mammograms and 3 cervical cancer screenings in one day, bringing our total to 58 women screened for breast cancer in 2026.

We made the day extra special with self-care gift bags and sweet treats for every patient. Thanks to #TeamMCC’s RN Judith, QI Manager Eva, and QI Coordinator Jarintze, who made it all happen!

A special shout-out to Alinea Medical Imaging for traveling here to serve our community. Their mammography technician was so kind and caring, helping our patients feel comfortable and well taken care of.

Early detection matters, and everyone deserves access to preventive care. We’re so glad to bring these services to our community! Stay tuned for our next mammogram event next spring!

¡#TeamMCC organizó su primer evento de mamografías en sábado, y fue todo un éxito! Realizamos 30 mamografías y 3 pruebas de detección de cáncer de cuello uterino en un solo día, con lo que alcanzamos un total de 58 mujeres examinadas para la detección de cáncer de mama en lo que va de 2026.

Hicimos que el día fuera aún más especial entregando a cada paciente bolsas de regalo con artículos de autocuidado y algunos dulces. ¡Gracias a Judith (enfermera), Eva (gerente) y Jarintze (coordinadora) de #TeamMCC, quienes hicieron posible todo esto!

Un agradecimiento especial a Alinea Medical Imaging por venir hasta aquí para atender a nuestra comunidad. Su técnica en mamografía fue sumamente amable y atenta, logrando que nuestras pacientes se sintieran cómodas y bien cuidadas.

La detección temprana es fundamental, y todas las personas merecen tener acceso a la atención preventiva. ¡Nos alegra mucho poder ofrecer estos servicios a nuestra comunidad!

Happy Medical Assistants’ Week to our amazing MAs!

From making patients feel comfortable and cared for to supporting our providers and keeping everything running smoothly, our MAs are such an important part of making every visit a positive experience.

Their compassion, teamwork, and dedication make a difference every day. We’re grateful for all the ways our MAs go above and beyond for our patients and our community.

We’re lucky to have you on #TeamMCC!

#TeamMCC is having a great time at the Fort Bragg & Mendocino Certified Farmers Markets ! MCC Board Member Cindy Rusert and Patient Advocate Extraordinaire Albert Anderson are at the Fort Bragg farmers’ market every Wednesday in October.

They can help with voter registration, answer health insurance questions, and explain why MCC is asking our community to vote NO on Proposition 44.

Prop. 44 would require community health centers to spend at least 90% of their revenue on specifically defined program services. But running a clinic takes more than direct patient care. Buildings, technology, support staff, and other essential resources all help us care for our patients. We’re concerned this measure could lead to significant financial penalties, fewer services, and even clinic closures.

That’s why MCC is asking our community to vote NO on Prop. 44.

See you at the market!

Happy American Pharmacists Month!

Happy National PA Week!

PA Week runs from October 6 to 12, and gives us a chance to celebrate the PAs who are an important part of #TeamMCC, including our newest PAs, Greg Baer and Willow Bartholomew. We’re excited to have them on board and caring for our community!

Willow is an Internal Medicine PA with a passion for lifestyle medicine. She enjoys helping patients make sustainable changes around nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress as part of their overall care. Greg began his healthcare career in sports medicine and orthopedic rehabilitation before becoming a PA.

They join James Thomas, who has worked at MCC for more than 20 years. He provides family medicine as well as behavioral health services, bringing a whole-person approach to patient care.

We’re grateful to Greg, Willow, James, and all of our providers for the expertise and compassion they bring to our patients every day.

We were delighted to spot this comment on the local listserv:

“I’ve been a patient at Coast Clinics since the small office on Main Street in Mendocino, that was the late 70s. I’ve had excellent care, I’ve never had a problem with records and I would highly recommend anybody looking for quality healthcare to think about switching to the Clinic. They are adding to their staff as we speak, with wonderful doctors who are here in person and then remotely and then back in person. The auxiliary staff is warm and kind. I’ve just never had any desire or felt the need to go anywhere else.”

If you’re looking for a healthcare home, give us a call at (707) 964-1251. We’d love to welcome you to MCC!
