People’s Center Medical Clinic Values:
- Service
- Excellence
- Community
A little bit about who we served in 2007:
- The People’s Center Medical Clinic (the Clinic) had over 16,000 patient visits in 2007, a 23% increase from 2006.
- Ninety-three percent (93%) of patients visiting the Clinic came from households with income 200% of the Federal Poverty Level or lower.
- The People’s Center vaccinated a record number of patients in 2007, assuring that over 700 adults and children were provided an influenza shot.
- Twenty-seven percent (27 %) of the patients served at the Clinic had no health insurance and received assistance from a sliding fee discount, with another 74% on publicly-subsidized insurance programs.
- With a newly coordinated Midwife and Pediatric Nurse program, over 80% of babies born to women receiving prenatal care at the Clinic were seen by a member of our Pediatric staff 2 weeks after birth.
- Seventy-eight percent (78%) of the Clinic’s patients were from communities of color. In 2001, that figure was only 27%.
- Fifty-six percent (56%) of the patients seen at the Clinic needed a translator to complete their patient visit. In contrast, only 20-27% of patients in other Twin Cities community clinics required a translator.
- The People’s Center Medical Clinic is a Federally Qualified Health Care Center.
