About Elica Health Center
To promote the health of our community, Elica Health Center (EHC) is devoted to offering high-quality health care services that emphasize preventative measures, wellness, health education, and disease management.
EHC is committed to providing low-income, multi-ethnic residents in the greater Sacramento region, notably Slavic and other immigrant groups, with competent and caring health homes.
Our Principles
Respect
Recognition of each person’s intrinsic value and respect for the human dignity of all people regardless of their social or religious standing.
Integrity
To be trustworthy, honest, transparent, and accountable while dealing with people, organizations, and partners when delivering medical treatment and doing business.
Collaboration
To collaborate with others who have similar beliefs and aims to obtain the desired result, supportive relationships, and high-quality service.
Service
To labor for the benefit and welfare of others, out of a sense of devotion and compassion for persons in medical need, and to endeavor to advance their well-being and satisfy their expectations for their health.
Our Goals and Objectives
Providing timely, preventative, and adequate health care to all people is a fundamental right.
The Story of Us
A federally qualified health center (FQHC), a title provided by the federal government to community-based clinics that satisfy a stringent set of standards, is Elica’s current status.
The management of competent and compassionate health homes for marginalized communities who face obstacles to treatment is central to our aim of providing high-quality, affordable health care.
Our long-term goals
Plan
Four mobile clinics and eleven medical facilities serve Sacramento and Yolo counties for Elica.
Eligible low-income and homeless communities in the Sacramento area desperately need primary health care. Therefore, Elica is looking for ways to cooperate with groups to improve access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. Pathways to Health & Home, U.C. Davis, the San Juan Unified School District, Twin Rivers Unified School District, and Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency are just a few examples of our collaborators (SHRA).
Our Services
We are boosting our community’s health and well-being.
By partnering with service providers to address the community’s needs, the integrated health care system may be improved.
Serve customers in the right location at the right time.
Our Productivity
Customers and patients should be put above anything else in the workplace.
Providers and employees will be involved in patient care under Elica’s new Patients the First paradigm. Our healthcare specialists and staff will work together with patients and their loved ones to understand and respect each patient’s healthcare requirements. ‘ While teaching patients how to manage their healthcare better, Elica’s Patients First approach will enable doctors to spend more uninterrupted time with each patient.
Our Customers
Work hard to find, keep, and reward the best people.
Assist in recruiting, retaining, and rewarding healthcare practitioners and personnel dedicated to the Elica Health Centers’ purpose.
Elica’s Progression.
The demand for Elica’s healthcare services is increasing at an accelerating rate. For example, we saw over 33% more patients in 2018 than before, totaling approximately 30,000 patients. We expect to see 38,594 patients in 2020, with 128,803 visits.
Our Efforts to Reach Out to the Local Community
Whenever possible, Elica looks for ways to work with non-profits in the neighborhood and participate in health fairs and other community activities.

Take Good Care Of Everyone
Patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are both hallmarks of Elica Health Centers (FQHC). Patients of all ages, colors, nationalities, and ethnicities may get quality primary medical care from us, regardless of their capacity to pay. As part of our comprehensive dental and behavioral health services, we also provide alcohol and drug misuse treatment.
The majority of our patients are seen on a planned appointment basis, and however, we do provide same-day appointments for those in need of immediate attention. Elica uses an after-hours, weekend, and holiday care coordination service to ensure that the right on-call clinician is available to treat her.
Services of Various Kinds
As a patient at Elica Health Centers, you may expect a wide variety of services, including primary care and diagnostic labs, immunizations and health education, mental health and case management, and family services and drug misuse.
Patients may be referred to various medical specializations via Elica’s established referral protocols. These protocols include everything from cardiovascular disease to mental health, women’s health, and orthopedics.

Executive Team
Tatiana Bak
The CEO of our company
The Elica Health Centers Board of Directors elected Tatyana Bak CEO in October 2017 after she had worked in different positions for the business for over two decades.
Tatyana has previously worked as a consultant, Director of Business Development, and Chief Operations Officer before her current role.
Tatyana and her family came to the United States from the Soviet Union in 1976 as part of a large influx of Russian immigrants to the country during the 1970s.
Among those who arrived in Sacramento during that wave, hers was the first to do so, and the city boasts one of its most significant populations of Russians outside of Russia itself.
Tatyana’s decision to work in health care was influenced by her own experience and a desire to assist others who are experiencing the same difficulties adjusting to a new environment as most immigrants do.
To ensure that Elica continues to grow and adapt to the ever-changing healthcare landscape while remaining true to the needs of its core constituents, the Board of Directors decided that Tatyana’s deep ties and commitment to the communities Elica serves, as well as her thorough knowledge of Elica’s role as an FQHC, were essential.
David E. Hughes
Our COO/CFO
Elica Health Centers has promoted David E. Hughes to Chief Operating Officer (COO). He’s a seasoned healthcare executive with more than two decades of experience establishing, expanding, and coordinating neighborhood health clinics in various parts of California.
Elica’s new CEO, David, comes from Wisconsin with a wealth of expertise and a proven track record of securing federal, state, and private funding for health center development and growth.
Health centers at schools and mobile access sites have been established, and 340B pharmaceutical programs and academic programs have been linked with health facilities.
Besides his expertise in physician recruitment, medical staff development, and medical team management and training, David has a strong track record of accomplishment.
Previously, David worked as an independent contractor for more than a third of Wisconsin’s Community Health Centers, doing financial and operational evaluations, engaging in strategic planning, generating budgets and cost reports, and conducting mock HRSA site inspections.
Cabin Creek Health Systems in West Virginia, where he served as CEO/CFO for 12 years, was another employer for him.

Our Chief Marketing Officer
Dr. Scott Needle is our Chief Medical Officer and a practicing pediatrician in the community. At a Federally Qualified Health Center in Naples, Florida, he served as Medical Director for Patient Safety and Quality of Care.

Throughout the United States, Dr. Needle has delivered several presentations on the topic of children and disaster preparation and numerous papers in the pediatric literature.
A House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on FEMA trailers and formaldehyde took place in 2007. Among the several councils and sections that Dr. Needle serves on as a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics is the AAP’s Disaster Preparedness Advisory Council.
The needs of children and the role of pediatricians in disaster planning, response, and recovery have been a focus of his writings and lectures, and he has collaborated with various local, state, and federal organizations.
His most recent position was the National Advisory Committee on Children and Disasters, which he chaired most recently.
Doctor Needle obtained his M.D. from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and did his pediatric internship and residency at New England Medical Center/Tufts University in Boston.
