A Letter From Jennifer R.

A Letter From Jennifer R.

Have you ever experienced what it feels like to not belong somewhere? Not belonging to anyone or anywhere defined my entire childhood and young adult life. I grew up in foster care, with a father who was incarcerated and a mother who was severely mentally ill. One of the most damaging consequences of being a child who grows up belonging to no one except for systems is what it did to my developing sense of worth and value as a human. The ... Read More

Celebrating 50 Years: A Nurse’s Role

As Gardner Health Services celebrates its 50th anniversary, it’s important to remember those employees who were instrumental in Gardner’s longevity.

Norma Avalos is one of those employees who has kept Gardner rooted over the years. She first joined Gardner 32 years ago and ever since she has embodied the grit and determination ... Read More

Celebrating 50 Years: Dedication to Mental Health

Dr. Valencia hasn’t forgotten his journey as a child, having newly arrived from Mexico, to now leading one of Santa Clara County’s largest mental health service programs. Miguel, or Dr. V as he is affectionately called by his staff, remembers what it is like to leave a familiar home behind and the fear and confusion of coming to a new life in a different country with a different language. Like many of Gardner’s clients and patients, he is a first ... Read More

Celebrating 50 Years: A Bright Light in Alviso

In the early days of the Alviso Health Center, the patients would often bring freshly harvested crops to share with the clinic's staff. Many of these patients were seasonal laborers who had little or no experience accessing medical care for themselves or their families. Like pioneers of healthcare navigation, staff members would assist the patients through the process. On the first floor of the Alviso Health Center, in the billing department, you ... Read More

Celebrating 50 Years: Gardner Fights for a Community Clinic

Celebrating 50 Years: Gardner Fights for a Community Clinic

       In the 1940s, the City of San Jose began a dramatic shift from agriculture to industrialization, at great cost for working-class communities. At the time, San Jose was globally recognized for its fruit exports, thanks to neighborhoods such as Gardner, which housed fruit companies and employees alike. However, Gardner became the poorest district in San Jose as economic expansion took place elsewhere. Faced with an unresponsive city ... Read More

Celebrating 50 Years: California’s First Community Health Center

Celebrating 50 Years: California’s First Community Health Center

In 1968, California’s first community health center opened along the southern rim of the San Francisco Bay, in Alviso. Dependent on nearby agricultural and industrial prosperity, Alviso had previously lacked the funds or resources to provide its own medical care. That began to change in the 1940’s when migrant workers migrating throughout the Bay Area began to venture down to Alviso and establish themselves. A new community identity full of grit ...

Celebrating 50 Years: Before the Valley was Synonymous with Silicon

Before we were the “Silicon Valley”, Santa Clara Valley was the largest fruit production and packing region in the world known as the “Valley of Heart's Delight”, with 39 canneries and hundreds of farms in operation during the 1960’s. Workers at the canneries and farms were bound by one commonality, non-existent medical care or services. We began during the “Valley of the Heart's Delight” and are celebrating fifty years of service to our ... Read More
