Within San Diego we work and support 44 non-profits, one of those is the Family Health Centers of San Diego. They are one of the largest community clinics within the United States, offering a wide range of health care services that provides care to over 190,000 unique patients a year.  They provide these services through 23 primary care clinics, 8 behavioral health facilities, 7 dental clinics, 3 mobile medical units, a teen health center, an outpatient substance abuse treatment program, vision and physical therapy, and a pharmacy.  Through a financial commitment to help support their efforts we have been given the opportunity and privilege to have an examination room named in behalf of ourselves or anyone of our choosing.

Here is where the fun begins. We are asking you to share your “OneofOne” Rancho Mesa moment with us where you felt we exceeded your expectations through our customer service, risk management practices, industry expertise, workshops or any other way, big or small, where you felt that “OneofOne” moment with us.  We don’t need anything elaborate, just a quick sentence or two describing that moment.

“There is no way that Mauzy could’ve gotten where they’re at today, without Rancho Mesa as a partner.”

— Matt Mauzy, Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar

“Thank you so much for your incredible support of MAAC and our ongoing work to help families and individuals achieve self-sufficiency in San Diego County.”

— Arnulfo Manriquez, President & CEO, MAAC

“Working with Rancho Mesa, we have reduced our mod, reduced our costs, and increased our control.”

— Matt Ziskin, President, Tierra Verde Resources, Inc.

By doing this, we hope to create an “OneofOne” moment with you.  Let me tell you how.  For every client of ours that sends us their Rancho Mesa “OneofOne” moment, they will go into a drawing for the privilege of naming the examination room.

We believe strongly in supporting our entire non-profit community, so from all the entries we will draw a total of 11 companies names. For the first 10 we draw, we will make a $250 donation in their behalf to anyone of our non-profits or to the non-profit of their choice. The 11th and final name drawn will be awarded the naming rights to the examination room.  We will hold this drawing live online on April 2nd at 10:00 am.

Please join us; let's have some fun, share a Rancho Mesa "OneofOne” moment, help us contribute to our local non-profit community. And let's create that new "OneofOne" moment with you.

Submit your "OneofOne" moment to your Rancho Mesa broker.
