Founded in 1978, the Darin M. Camarena Health Center is a health care facility which provides exceptional medical and dental care services, educational services, and some social and community development services for people with limited service access in Madera County, California. Camarena Health Center spearheaded the development of a successful fixed-route transportation system within its target area. The Center provides an early literacy program entitled "Reach Out and Read" and is also spearheading a community-wide teen pregnancy prevention project. Successful business and strategic planning are the hallmarks of its program development processes: Camarena is at the forefront of a federally-funded pilot project to bring computerized health records into community health centers.
