Outreach Services
The La Esperanza Clinic Outreach team dedicates their daytime efforts to screening patients for a range of programs addressing crucial needs such as insurance, food, housing, utilities, continuing education, and job training. They specialize in connecting patients to programs, services, and organizations that may be unfamiliar, offering support in both English and Spanish. Assistance with applications is readily available, ensuring a smooth process.
