Las Palmas Del Sol Healthcare and University Medical Center of El Paso - El Paso Healthcare Heroes (EPHH)

What is it?

This coordinated community care delivery system for the uninsured ensures primary and specialty care, regardless of ability to pay.

Who is it for?

Uninsured in the community.

Why do they do it?

Local health care entities shared concerns about patients presenting at the emergency department (ED) because they had no insurance or money, waiting too long to address their health issues, and then – after being stabilized and discharged – not taking their meds or following up with a doctor and again waiting until they are very ill to come back into the ED.

Impact

EPHH has received more than 500 cases and has moved to new offices to accommodate increased patient volume.
