At Whole Person Care Clinic (WPCC), we take pride in the incredible individuals who lead our mission to provide holistic, compassionate, and accessible care. Today, we are thrilled to spotlight Site Manager Joaquin Zambrano, whose dedication and leadership have made a profound impact in the Imperial Valley community.
A Legacy of Service and Dedication
With over 16 years of experience in social services, including the behavioral health field, Joaquin has consistently demonstrated a passion for empowering individuals and communities. His mission has always been clear: to help people harness the skills necessary for healthy social functioning, self-esteem, wellness, and active community involvement.
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from San Diego State University in 2007, Joaquin launched his career with Imperial County Behavioral Health Services, where he spent over a decade contributing to their vision of wellness. His work focused on leading multidisciplinary teams and developing programs that made a difference in the lives of individuals and the community.
Embracing Growth and Leadership
In 2022, Joaquin transitioned to the private sector as director of a mental health clinic in Imperial County, where he continued to grow and develop his leadership skills. Today, as WPCC’s Site Manager in the Imperial Valley, Joaquin brings his wealth of experience and unwavering dedication to our mission. His leadership and expertise are invaluable as we expand our efforts to address the unique needs of this rural region.
Serving the Imperial Valley
The Imperial Valley is a diverse and dynamic community, but it faces significant challenges in accessing healthcare and housing services, especially for agricultural and remote populations. WPCC, in partnership with NHHA’s Community Care Campus Imperial Valley, is committed to bridging these gaps. By offering integrated care—from medical expertise to mental health support and housing navigation—we aim to provide critical resources and stabilizing solutions that pave the way for long-term stability.
Under Joaquin’s guidance, our Imperial Valley campus is dedicated to addressing these challenges head-on. His ability to connect with the community, coupled with his passion for service, makes him an exceptional leader for this initiative.
A Life of Purpose and Passion
Joaquin’s dedication to service is deeply rooted in his Mexican American heritage. He finds joy in traveling throughout Mexico and beyond, embracing new cultures and practices that enrich his perspective. He is passionate about exercising the mind, body, and soul to achieve balance, allowing him to live a life of purpose and fulfillment for himself and his loved ones.
A Shared Mission
At WPCC, our mission is to provide holistic, compassionate, and accessible care that nurtures the physical, emotional, and social well-being of every individual we serve. Through an integrated approach, we address the full spectrum of our patients’ needs, ensuring that no one is left behind. Joaquin embodies this mission in every aspect of his work, inspiring his team and making a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to expand our reach in the Imperial Valley, we are grateful to have Joaquin leading the team. His vision, dedication, and passion for service are instrumental in helping WPCC achieve its goal of creating a supportive community where every individual is valued, heard, and cared for with dignity and respect.
