Columbia Valley Community Health receives multiple national recognition awards

WENATCHEE — Columbia Valley Community Health has been recognized with several 2025 Community Health Quality Recognition Awards from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration.

The awards include the Silver Health Center Quality Leader Award, which places CVCH among the top 11 to 20 percent of community health centers nationwide for overall clinical quality measures. The designation reflects progress and outcomes on HRSA’s clinical quality benchmarks.

CVCH also received the High-Value Care Award, which recognizes centers that improve clinical quality while delivering care efficiently and cost-effectively.

The organization was honored with the Improving Health Care Access Award, given to centers that expand their patient base by at least 5 percent. CVCH leaders said the recognition highlights their efforts to reach more residents in the community with health services.

In addition, the Advancing Health Information Technology for Quality Award was presented to CVCH for implementing advanced IT strategies to improve care access, data collection and initiatives addressing social determinants of health.

“These HRSA awards are a direct reflection of the dedication, expertise, and compassion our entire team brings to work every single day,” said Manuel Navarro, CEO of CVCH. “Earning recognition for quality, access, value, and innovation shows that we are not only meeting the highest standards in healthcare, but we are also making meaningful strides in reaching more people in our community with the care they deserve. I’m incredibly proud of our staff and grateful to our patients who trust us to be their partners in health.”
