Since our inception in 1988 we have strived to improve the quality of life for the diverse communities we serve by providing culturally appropriate, accessible, and affordable quality health care.
Today, La Clinica offers services through seven neighborhood health centers, 10 school-based clinics, and a mobile health center. Our social services and outreach programs provide a safety net for our most remote and vulnerable community members.
The need for affordable care is increasing at a tremendous rate. This growth is attributed to the changes in our state’s Medicaid program; declining capacity to serve our growing Medicare community; and a steady decline in enrollment in employer-sponsored health insurance.
Nearly 60,000 people in Jackson County fall within our target population for medical care, and almost 90,000 need help with dental care. La Clinica met just over a quarter of the need for medical care in the community in 2009 and only 5 percent of the dental need.
