Providing Equitable Access to Health
We build long-term, meaningful relationships with families by providing a true medical home for those without insurance. Our patients receive free preventive, acute, and chronic disease management, supported by trusted primary care providers who understand their cultural and social realities. By removing barriers to care, La Clínica del Pueblo helps people access the right care, at the right time, in the right way, and in the right place — reducing unnecessary emergency visits and promoting community well-being. Primary care is the cornerstone of a healthier, more productive community.
A Time of Growth and Expansion
La Clínica del Pueblo has entered a pivotal new phase. In the past year, we expanded from 650 square feet and one exam room to 1,000 square feet with three exam rooms, allowing us to meet rising demand — over 1,500 patient encounters expected in 2025, double from the previous year.
We have also:
• reduced disease burden and improve quality of life.Launched a Behavioral Health Program to address mental-health needs in our community.
• Partnered with the Renée Crown Wellness Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder through a three-year CDPHE grant to develop SanaMente — a peer-led mental-health and lifestyle program reducing depression, anxiety, and stress among Latinx adults with chronic disease.
• Expanded women’s health services, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and comprehensive gynecologic care through a Caring for Colorado grant.
Through these initiatives, we are deepening our commitment to behavioral wellness, lifestyle education, and preventive medicine — helping patients adapt lasting, positive habits that reduce disease burden and improve quality of life. La Clínica del Pueblo is more than a medical facility. It is a center for wellness, education, and empowerment.
Our preventative health programs include:
• Plant-Based Cooking Classes & Nutrition Education
• Shop with a Doc Grocery Tours — helping families make healthy, affordable choices• Exercise and Movement Programs promoting accessible fitness• Cancer Screening Partnerships with UC Cancer Program
• Contraception Education and Women’s Health Workshops
By removing barriers and offering culturally tailored care, La Clínica del Pueblo strengthens individual lives and the health of the entire community. In today’s complex political and socialclimate, our mission has never been more urgent — healthcare for all, without fear or financial barriers.
La Clinica del Pueblo is committed to delivering high-quality, bilingual medical care and preventive health education to uninsured and underserved populations. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, equitable, and culturally relevant healthcare, empowering our community to achieve better health outcomes.
The People’s Clinic: A Vital Community Lifeline
Founded in 2016 as a once-monthly pop-up under the Valley Settlement initiative, La Clínica
del Pueblo — The People’s Clinic — was born from an urgent need for accessible, affordable
healthcare. That early effort quickly evolved into an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a
dedicated office space serving the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond.
Today, La Clínica del Pueblo remains the only source of free medical care for uninsured
individuals and families on Colorado’s Western Slope. Our bilingual, bicultural team provides
high-quality, culturally competent primary care to the immigrant community — ensuring that
financial cost and fear never stand in the way of essential health services.
