Our History

Medical Clinic Entrance, Downtown Winters.
On May 22, 2000, at a town hall meeting, hundreds of people from Winters and the surrounding rural area voted unanimously to create what became known as the Winters Healthcare Foundation. A highly respected local physician, Dr. Bill Davis, had decided to stop practicing medicine in Winters because he felt that corporate healthcare policies had begun to dictate exactly how he should practice medicine. The community asked Dr. Davis to stay, embracing his personalized approach to medical care for patients. They wanted to ensure that quality primary care services — including all the benefits of modern medical science, preventive health education, and patient advocacy - would be accessible to everyone in the region.
The first clinic opened in October 2000. In December of 2000 WHF was awarded 501 C(3). The clinic expanded in the Spring of 2002 when Amy Morgan P.A.C arrived to partner with Dr. Davis to provide care to patients. In July 2004, the Winters Healthcare Clinic was licensed as a primary care clinic by the State of California and in May 2005 it became a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). In 2007 Dr. Matthew Rosenberg was appointed Medical Director of WHF, and Dr. Annie Hargadon joined the practice as staff physician. In 2008 Dr. Ana Maria Antoniu joined WHF as Dental Director.
