• Community Health Improvement Program efforts including: History in HealthFounded in 1999, the Lompoc Valley Community Healthcare Organization (LVCHO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Lompoc, California. Established by concerned citizens, LVCHO was created to address the high rates of uninsured residents and the critical lack of health services in the community. Our mission is to ensure that all residents have access not only to essential treatment services but also to health promotion and disease prevention programs, making quality healthcare available to everyone in the community. A key contribution has been the healthcare services facilitated for the FBOP since 2003.In its efforts to assess community needs, LVCHO identified significant shortages in key services, including substance abuse treatment, dental care for the medically indigent, and ophthalmology services for Medi-Cal patients. The organization also found inadequate facilities at the low-income pediatric clinic and the absence of a facility for the Sexual Abuse Response Team (SART) to provide vital services. By the end of its first five years, LVCHO had secured grants and coordinated with community providers to create:1.A full-service dental clinic for the medically indigent2.A weekly ophthalmology clinic for Medi-Cal patients without access to services3.A full-service outpatient substance abuse clinic4.Provided base funding for the completion of an addition to the low-income pediatric clinic5.Found a facility and coordinated with the hospital and law enforcement to implement the SART services to provide a safe, non-threatening environment for the patients in need of the SART6.Implemented an indigent pharmacy program for those community members without insurance. This program provides short-term medicines free to those with acute care conditions who otherwise would not be able to purchase them. Recognizing the importance of preventive services, LVCHO also implemented two community health programs: cardiovascular risk reduction and family violence prevention.1.Formed a partnership with the Lompoc Chamber of Commerce, the YMCA, and the Lompoc Ministerial Alliance and received grant funding to implement a Heart Healthy Workplace Program for local employers. 2.Performed an assessment of available family violence prevention services in the community. As a result of this assessment, the LVCHO, in conjunction with multiple community partners, facilitated the development of the Lompoc Valley Family Violence Prevention Task Force. This group sought and received funding to implement a half-time community educator. Over the past fifteen years, the Lompoc Valley Community Health Organization (LVCHO) has shifted its focus towards improving community health through strategic changes in health policy and the built environment. Recognizing the urgent need to address childhood obesity and physical inactivity, LVCHO partnered with the Lompoc Unified School District to implement the Sports, Play, and Active Recreation (SPARK) program, a Surgeon General-approved initiative. Through SPARK, 200 teachers in the Lompoc district received hands-on training, and all elementary and middle schools were provided with the necessary equipment to integrate physical activity into students' daily routines.LVCHOs commitment to improving community health extended to policy advocacy through its Healthy Communities Task Force, a coalition of 40 community agencies, churches, and businesses. The Task Force undertook a comprehensive review of the City of Lompoc General Plan, recommending changes that were ultimately incorporated into the plan by the City Council. This effort led to enhanced safety measures, such as the expansion of sidewalks and bikeways around three elementary schools, funded by the State, to protect children walking and biking to school. Additionally, LVCHO partnered with the Lompoc Unified School District and the City of Lompoc to secure a four-year grant from the California Department of Transportation to implement a Safe Routes to School program, which successfully increased walking and biking among elementary school children from 18% to nearly 40% within the first year.Healthy Eating and Active Living In 2012, following the recommendations of what is now known as the Healthy Lompoc Coalition, the City of Lompoc unanimously voted to become a HEAL city. This program focuses on implementing policies that have been proven to enhance community health. The Healthy Lompoc Coalition, now comprising over 60 community and county stakeholders, continues to meet monthly to strategize and promote whole-person health practices throughout Lompoc. Through outreach at community events and leveraging stakeholder networks, the Coalition actively works to improve community health and safety by driving policy, system, and environmental changes.LVCHO has also partnered with Route One Farmers Market to implement a buffering services grant at the Santa Barbara Countys Department of Public Health Lompoc Health Care Center. This program educates participants on healthy coping mechanisms and nutritious eating within a trauma-informed care framework. Continuing its support for Route Ones mobile farmers market, LVCHO helped create a place-based solution to enhance healthy food access for underserved communities. In collaboration with Route One, the LVCHO also developed a "Food Access Resource List" to guide Lompoc residents in finding food support services.Approximately six years ago, LVCHO collaborated with the City of Lompoc Fire Department to secure and execute a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. This collaboration focused on promoting active transportation and safety. An LVCHO-managed creative crosswalk grant further supported the local economy by enhancing the aesthetics and walkability of the downtown corridor. Additionally, LVCHO has been engaged in a multi-year collaborative Caregiver Support grant aimed at raising awareness and providing resources for local seniors and caregivers. Building on these efforts, the organization continued its partnership with county-wide agencies to expand the Caring Together Santa Barbara County campaign and network, strengthening the safety net for aging residents and family caregivers.In 2020, the LVCHO successfully managed and completed a capital campaign to renovate the track and field at Huyck Stadium in Lompoc, transforming it into a vibrant community resource. This renovation was driven by the need for improved facilities to support physical activity and community events, reflecting LVCHOs commitment to enhancing health and wellness in the area. Now open for community use, Huyck Stadium serves as a hub for various recreational activities, sports events, and gatherings, fostering a sense of community engagement and promoting healthy lifestyles. To ensure the stadium remains in excellent condition and is used to its fullest potential, LVCHO has established a dedicated oversight committee. This committee, facilitated by LVCHO, is responsible for maintaining the quality of the facilities and coordinating the scheduling of community events and activities. By prioritizing ongoing maintenance and community access, the committee aims to create a welcoming environment for all residents, encouraging active participation in sports and recreational pursuits. Ultimately, the renovation of Huyck Stadium not only enhances physical infrastructure but also strengthens community ties, promoting a culture of health and wellness in Lompoc.In 2022, LVCHO, in collaboration with the City of Lompoc and the Lompoc Unified School District, applied for an Active Transportation Program grant through California Department of Transportation (CalTrans). In 2023, CalTrans awarded nearly $3 million to LVCHO and its partners to implement this plan over three years. The program, which promotes walking, biking, and rolling, is divided into non-infrastructure initiatives led by LVCHO and the school district and infrastructure improvements overseen by the City of Lompoc, including installing light poles and sidewalk repairs. Recently, the LVCHO partnered with the Lompoc Police Department to receive a $30,000 grant from the California Safety Office (OTS) to facilitate biking classes at local elementary schools and distribute free helmets along with pedestrian and biking information, particularly targeting youth. Initiatives and Community EngagementAdditionally, the LVCHO was awarded $10,000 by the FUND for Santa Barbara to implement a Cafecito Comunitario (Community Coffee) initiative, which aims to unite the Hispanic-Latino community in addressing health challenges through open dialogue in a safe and inclusive environment. The funding will support a bilingual coordinator and cover meeting expenses. Key goals include securing meeting locations, developing outreach materials, hosting 12 gatherings, engaging community partners, gathering feedback, prioritizing health needs, and reporting outcomes

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
