Patient Access Assistance Program

At La Esperanza Clinic, we believe healthcare goes beyond the exam room. Our Patient Access Assistance Program (PAAP) is designed to support patients facing barriers to care by providing essential resources at no cost. Through PAAP, eligible patients can receive help with transportation to appointments, access to medical supplies, food assistance, and even items like smoke alarms for home safety. This program ensures our patients not only receive quality medical care, but also the support they need to live healthier, safer lives.

What is PAAP?

La Esperanza Clinic's Patient Access Assistance Program (PAAP) offers no-cost medical supplies, transportation, aid with food insecurities, and even smoke alarms to patients who may not have the means to obtain these essential, lifesaving tools.

  • PAAP combats food insecurity by providing patients access to a well-stocked food pantry. This ensures that those facing financial difficulties can obtain nutritious food, supporting their health and well-being.

  • PAAP provides essential medical supplies at no cost to patients in need. These supplies include diabetic kits, weight scales, blood pressure cuffs, and nebulizers, ensuring patients can effectively manage their health conditions. PAAP helps remove financial barriers and promotes better health outcomes for the community.

  • PAAP aids with transportation by offering bus passes for care appointments, ensuring access for patients with mobility or financial constraints. This support enables regular attendance, promoting better health outcomes and overall well-being.
