Houston clinic on mission to aid Latino health - Denver Harbor Clinic

“It was a modest beginning for the tiny clinic that opened in Denver Harbor, a primarily working-class Hispanic neighborhood hugging the East Freeway north of the Houston Ship Channel: A single nurse practitioner served a handful of clients, six hours a week, in a church.

Eight years later and with the help of The Methodist Hospital, the Denver Harbor Clinic has expanded its staff to three physicians and 17 medical residents, serving 9,000 patients. And to the delight of weary, nearby residents, its new, 5,600-square-foot facility displaced a notorious cantina in the neighborhood. The clinic is planning yet another expansion to meet surging demand.”
