Your Trusted Community Healthcare Provider
Northern Valley Indian Health has been dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare services to Native Americans and all community members since our founding in 1974. Our mission centers on delivering compassionate care across all age groups, encompassing wellness visits, counseling, and community outreach programs. Our team of experienced providers works collaboratively with patients to address healthcare needs through culturally grounded approaches that respect individual circumstances. We maintain a welcoming environment free from discrimination, offering medical, dental, behavioral health, and community health services to everyone in our region. With locations across Northern California, including Chico, Willows, and Woodland, we accept all insurance plans including Medi-Cal and Medicare while maintaining strict adherence to privacy and nondiscrimination policies. Our recent implementation of the PRISMA health information exchange system demonstrates our commitment to improving care coordination and reducing duplicate testing.

We provide specialized services such as physical therapy, addiction medicine, and podiatry through qualified specialists at multiple clinic locations. Our organization actively participates in public health initiatives including vaccination programs for COVID-19, pneumonia, and influenza. Through partnerships with the Indian Health Service, our Community Health Representatives play vital roles in connecting patients with culturally appropriate care and health education resources. We maintain transparent operations with clear appointment policies and privacy practices while continuously seeking patient feedback to improve our services. Our values of compassion, integrity, and teamwork guide every aspect of our operations as we strive to be a trusted healthcare partner for all community members.

I have had uniformly great care at NVIH. Dr. Reinking listens and cares and every staff member I have met there has been efficient and kind. I feel lucky to be a patient here and couldn't recommend them more highly.

North Valley Indian Health is a medical clinic that specializes in Native American health. Card carrying Native Americans can be seen for both medical and dental for free at the clinic. Dr. Reinking is my favorite doctor. She is thoughtful and explains things clearly. Appointments are a few months out or you can call at 7:30 and try for a same day appointment. They take care of all my primary medical and dental health. When a patient fell they called in the Calvary.
