A new primary care clinic aimed at meeting the needs of older Latinos opens in central Phoenix
- Suvida Healthcare has opened its first Phoenix primary care clinic, in central Phoenix, aimed at older Latinos who face barriers of language, culture and transportation.
- The clinic offers primary care and behavioral health services and hires fully bilingual, culturally competent staff so patients do not have to rely on translators.
- Its waiting room, called 'la sala,' is designed as a home-like gathering space with music, snacks and cafecitos, and patients are encouraged to bring caregivers or family to visits.
