Organization Description

Open Door Community Health Centers was founded with a vision to provide excellent health care and health education to a part of California, at a time when the region suffered from a shortage of access.

Starting as a single clinic in 1971, Open Door now has 14 locations across Humboldt and Del Norte counties – a service area larger than the state of Connecticut – offering primary and dental care, counselling, pharmacy services, and community support offices, serving about 65,000 patients a year and employing almost 800 members of the community.

5/20/25: Lance Martin, Program Manager (Lmartin@opendoorhealth.com 442.224.8749) is the main point of contact for all student placements at Open Door.  Students interested in a rotation with Open Door need to complete their rotation request form at: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/1e3d2bfca83a4911807e172e3eee4d95.
