About Us

Clinicas del Camino Real, Incorporated

A Brief History

In 1971, social activists Mary Hummel, Mamie Barger, and Reverend Eleazar H. Echeverria opened the Santa Paula Free Clinic, dedicated to serving the medical needs of Ventura County’s medically underserved population.

As the need for quality, affordable health care grew, the clinic expanded to better serve its patients. The scope of services grew beyond the Santa Clara River Valley, hence the name Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc. to cover the entire Ventura County.

Today, Clinicas continues to put quality patient and family care first in everything that we do.

Mission Statement

The Mission of Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc. is to provide quality, comprehensive and preventative, healthcare services to Ventura County’s community. It is the explicit mission of Clinicas to save lives and restore good health to the underserved population of the county at rates that are consistent with a client’s ability to pay. Moreover, Clinicas’ bilingual and bicultural staff delivers its services on a personal and humane basis and especially reaches out to members of the community who are traditionally underserved due to limited income, resources, and cultural and language barriers.

 

Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc. shall also serve as a voice for the under-represented healthcare client, by informing and educating elected officials and established healthcare systems of the needs of the underserved healthcare client. Clinicas’ Board of Directors and staff shall strive to bring about a thorough awareness – within the community at large – of the benefits of a healthy population.
