Nonprofit Overview
Causes: AIDS, Community Clinics, Health, Hospitals
Mission: Esperanza Health Center opened its doors in 1989 as a small clinic in the heart of North Philadelphia's Latino community with a few paid and volunteer staff. Today, Esperanza provides whole-person health care services from three sites in North Philadelphia - Fifth Street, Hunting Park, and Kensington - serving over 14,000 patients annually. Esperanza's model of care seeks to address patients' physical, emotional, & spiritual needs.
