Medical Services
The Opportunity Center maintains a partnership with Centro San Vicente, an outpatient medical clinic that operates on-site to provide medical care to all homeless clients both of the Opportunity Center and El Paso Coalition for the Homeless partner agencies. The clinic is staffed by one nurse practitioner and four licensed vocational nurses, contains its own pharmacy, and includes four examination rooms. The program averages over 270 clients a month!
A medical clinic dedicated to serving the homeless is essential to providing preventive medical care and reducing the number of costly emergency room visits at local hospitals.
