A Colorado Springs health clinic is working to close gaps in medical care for the local Latino community, offering a range of primary care services in a bilingual environment.

La Clínica Hispana aims to help thousands of Hispanic residents each year by providing medical and financial services to the community. Patients entering the Colorado Springs location are met with a Latino-welcoming environment, including Spanish-speaking receptionists and physicians prepared to assist with their health questions.

Staff at the clinic do not focus on whether a patient has immigration documents; the clinic's stated goal is to ensure that lack of medical care does not continue within the Latino community. This approach positions the clinic as an accessible point of care for residents who may face barriers at other healthcare facilities.

The clinic offers primary health services including diagnostics for diabetes and hypertension, antibiotic prescriptions and medications, laboratory studies, minor surgical procedures, and ultrasound services.

The clinic is open Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the extended evening hours intended to accommodate patients who work late shifts.

It was not immediately clear from available reporting how many Colorado Springs residents the clinic has served to date, or whether additional locations in the region are planned.
