Services
At Esperanza Health Center, we believe in wholistic care for each of our patients. Excellent medical care is a vital part of overall health-however, we recognize that it's important to care for each patient's psychological, social and spiritual needs as well. Also, prevention through diet, exercise and positive health habits are just as important for wellness.
The North Philadelphia community that Esperanza Health Center has served for nearly three decades includes the densely-populated neighborhoods of Upper Kensington, Hunting Park, Fairhill/St. Hugh, Harrowgate, Feltonville and Juniata Park. Nearly one out of every five Philadelphia residents lives in our community, which is the largest Hispanic community in the city and is among the largest Puerto Rican communities in the United States.
Of the more than 287,000 residents of our community, two-thirds live in households with incomes at or below 200% of the poverty level. Language and transportation barriers prevent many from obtaining basic health care services. Since our founding in 1989, Esperanza has been committed to providing access to affordable, high-quality bilingual health care and wellness services, as we pursue health together with our patients and our community.
At Esperanza Health Center, we seek to provide high-quality care and to provide access to many other resources for health and wellness. We keep the atmosphere light, with casual conversation and refreshments. Your ideas truly help us to improve communication, improve workflows, and improve services.
