Notes from the Road: Ten Bucks to say "Aahh"
$10 will buy you a couple of venti lattes or 4 gallons of gas OR...
The award winning Clinica Tepeyac provides a full spectrum of health care services for $10 a visit. That's right. Ten bucks pays for a full doctor's visit. As is typical of a nonprofit, community based health care provider, Clinica generates less than 10% of its revenue from client fees and fundraises to make up for the rest.
David Lack, Executive Director, calls Clinica an additional "safety net" under the primary health care "safety nets" in the Denver Metro Area. Located in the Globeville neighborhood (North of I-70; East of I-25) in close vicinity to a community garden, school, and rec center, Clinica provided affordable health care to over 7,000 patients in 2006 and expects that number will grow significantly in 2007. With six exam rooms, a full time doctor, a part time PA, full support staff, and an onsite lab and pharmacy, Clinica Tepeyac delivers quality health care to the uninsured at an incredible price!
David is an expert on national health care issues that affect us all (cost, insurance, quality of care, etc.) and sheds light on the subject in this recorded interview. If you have 15 minutes, take a listen! If you are a health care professional who would like to donate time/services to Clinica please call David at 303-583-0148 or email him.
