For more than 40 years, La Clínica del Pueblo has provided high quality, culturally and linguistically appropriate health services to people across the Greater Washington, DC region. We were founded by community advocates working closely with Latino and immigrant families who lacked access to safe, affordable, and culturally grounded care. Those roots continue to guide our mission today.
From the very beginning, La Clínica has welcomed people of all backgrounds. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, we serve anyone who needs us, regardless of their circumstances. Our integrated model includes:
Our programs serve people living with HIV, survivors of gender based violence, families seeking preventive care, and youth in school based mental health programs. We walk alongside our patients and community members with respect and compassion.
We envision a diverse, inclusive, healthy, safe, and joyful community where everyone has access to healthcare and the knowledge to care for themselves and their families.
We advocate for healthcare as a human right and work toward a united community that can expand health access.
We believe that health care is a human right.
We celebrate the cultures, strengths, and resilience of the people we serve, bringing joy, generosity, and positivity to every interaction.
We honor our origins within the Latino and immigrant communities and continue to serve a broad and diverse patient population with the same commitment and care.
We walk beside our patients for as long as it takes, offering consistent and compassionate support.
We provide culturally responsive and high quality care that honors each person's experience and supports their physical, emotional, and social well-being.
We work together across teams, partnerships, and community networks, and we treat patients as equal partners in their care.
Our impact reflects the strength and leadership of the communities we serve and our commitment to expanding access to health care for all.
