Clinica Colorado

In Colorado, it is estimated that there remain 350,000 without health insurance even after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. There may be many reasons that individuals and families are not covered by health insurance and that is who we serve.

Since we opened, we have had over 44,000 patient visits! Our goal is to serve individuals of all ages, including entire families.
