La Clinica - Valuable Medical Resource for all

La Clinica

Thanks to strong community support and the growing need, La Clinica has had rapid growth in both capacity and demand. The Clinic is now open daily from 8 to 1 and from 4 to 8 pm on Tuesday. There is one Saturday clinic a month from 8 to 3pm. Our staff has grown as well. La Clinica staff now includes a behavioral therapist, a physician assistant, a nurse practitioner, and two medical assistants. In January of 2025 we saw 41 patients and in January 2026 we saw 250 patients.Education and outreach still remains an important aspect of our work.  In 2025, La Clinica offered a number of medial seminars on topics such as stress management and colin cancer in Spanish, online and in person. This continues in 2026, along with workshops around women's health including fatty liver, reproductive health and menopause. We have a growing library of health promoting resources online that have been accessed over 20,000 times.

Our Behavioral/mental health services are in high demand. Fear and stress dominate as issues. Additionally, our Sanamente program has trained 7 peer mentors and group support sessions are starting. Sanamente focuses on a culturally responsive, evidence-based mental health support program designed by and for the community. 

Many community members and organizations are stepping up. We have a weekly Zumba class for adults while their children are offered classes by the Aspen Science Center.Dental care is hard to access for our patients but a collaboration with the GLO Good Foundation will bring a dental clinic and health fair on August 22 to the Third Street Center.

La Clinica is more than just a clinic, it is a safe, medical home for our uninsured, immigrant community.

There are not volunteer needs within the programs, as they have specific education and qualification requirements for the positions. Any financial donations are also more than welcome!
