CLINICA COLORADO opens in Westminster

Clinica Colorado opened its doors on June 1, 2011 offering low cost health care for those without health care insurance.  Services include preventive health care, well-child care, well-woman exams, and mammograms.  Screening services will be available for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  Minor procedures and casting will be available as well.

Clinica Colorado will provide an accessible community clinic with low cost resources to serve the population most affected by the high cost of health care and the shortage of existing safety-net clinics. There will be a $20 fee for office visits, testing will be discounted, and vaccinations will be free.

Clinica Colorado employs one physician at this time, and will rely on a volunteer network of skilled physicians, nurse practitioners and physician's assistants.    As growth permits, Clinica Colorado will expand.  According to Dr. Jim Williams, the clinic's founder, "There are 1.2 million people in Colorado without adequate health insurance. Clinica Colorado will help address this problem."

Clinica Colorado is located near St. Anthony's Hospital North at 8406 Clay Street, Westminster, Colo. The clinic is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling 720-443-8461. For more information see www.clinicacolorado.org
