Valley-Wide Health Systems, Inc. (Valley-Wide) is rooted in and has been supportive of the Farmworkers’ Rights Movement since we started serving our communities. Because of this, we named our clinic in Center, CO after Cesar Chavez. As we learn more about the allegations against Cesar Chavez, we will be working to balance honoring our own history and legacy, the social justice work of Dolores Huerta, farmworkers, and many others who led the farmworker and civil rights movements and the need to respect the victims and ensure we continue to provide safe and respectful places for care. Due to the nature of the allegations, we feel that it is important that we take them seriously, while approaching this difficult news with thoughtful communication and planning. Valley-Wide has suspended digital and physical displays featuring Cesar Chavez and will be discussing the name of our Cesar E. Chavez Family Medical Center. Patients may notice the name of the clinic being covered while we continue with discussions. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
