Salud's ultimate goal is to provide quality, comprehensive primary health care services, and to improve the overall health of the communities it serves by reducing barriers to health care, including: ability to pay, transportation, and language. Salud provides health care services without regard to age, sex or disease process.
Salud's clinics provide an important safety net function within the communities they serve. The majority of Salud's clients have little or no access to other health care providers due to a lack of private insurance. Salud has a firm commitment to provide care to all people, and does not turn patients away based on finances, insurance coverage, or ability to pay.
