Company Profile
Adelante Healthcare
Company Overview
Adelante Healthcare is proud to be a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) — part of a network of health providers dedicated to improving the health of their communities.
Community health centers are thriving, patient-centered facilities that practice wellness, collaboration and excellence.
The Community Health Center difference includes:
Being a non-profit, so our centers are not focused on treating as many patients as possible, but instead can focus on working with each patient to get well, be well and live well
Offering comprehensive care that treats the whole person. Most community health centers offer a variety of services including primary medical care, dental, prescription and mental health services. Many also offer pediatric, nutrition, exercise and other wellness programs.
Focusing on delivering services that respect the diverse cultures and needs of their patients.
Leading the pack with technology including the use of electronic medical records to better coordinate the care our patient receive.
Compiling and analyzing health data about our communities to better understand and treat chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma or obesity.
Being led by a Board of Directors on which a majority of the members are patients of our centers. That makes us responsive to the needs of our patients and our communities.
Mostly, being a community health center means starting with you. Working with you to take an active role in improving and managing your health.
Company History
In 1979, a group of dedicated community members in rural Surprise and El Mirage, Arizona saw that the health care needs of local farm workers were going unmet. These concerned citizens decided to join forces and apply for federal funding to build a community health center in El Mirage. The following year, a grant was awarded to establish Clinica Adelante’s first health center. These humble beginnings formed the roots of our belief in sustainable health care and our ongoing mission to provide for those in need of quality health care.
Today, Adelante Healthcare continues to offer patients affordable health care of the highest quality at nine locations throughout Maricopa County and surrounding communities.
