History

Established in 2010.

Bartz-​Altadonna Community Health Center is a non-​profit organization and it was founded as Bartz-​Altadonna Memorial Clinic in honor of Sonny Bartz and Frank Altadonna by Susan E. Lawrence and Darrell T. Lind. The services provided by the clinic were focused on HIV/​AIDS care that it was much needed in the A.V.; after successfully separating the clinic from its parent non-​profit organization in 2010 as Bartz-​Altadonna Community Health Center, this clinic was able to thrive and provide a broader spectrum of services that are imperative for our community to have a healthy way of living.
