About This Cause
Centro San Vicente a 501(c)(3), Federally Qualified Health Center. We offer primary care, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecological services, dental, x-ray, pharmacy, laboratory, mental and behavioral health services and health education. All programs are offered on a sliding scale fee for those patients that are uninsured or under-insured. No one is denied service regardless of ability to pay. Centro San Vicente provides a critical lifeline for the needs of El Paso’s neediest families and children. More than one-third of El Paso residents do not have health insurance. Our patients are local members of the community, raising families in an increasingly expensive health care environment. 70% percent of our registered patients are uninsured and 91% live in poverty. Many of our patients are employed, but do not receive health insurance coverage from their employers and can’t afford to purchase their own coverage. With health care costs increasing, many are forced to not receive health care treatment because of costs, thus increasing ER visits and costs associated with ER visits. By providing our patients with affordable and quality health care, Centro San Vicente plays and important role in improving community health in the region resulting in a better quality of life. While Centro San Vicente Family Health Center receives funding from sliding fee scale payments, public and private insurances and from Health Resources and Services Administration, still 37% of our funding comes from concerned citizens and donors. Donations will continue to allow Centro San Vicente to provide quality health care to those most vulnerable thus allowing our community to act to it's fullest potential and contribute back to our society and economy.
