El CEO de UMC George Kypuros tuvo la gentileza de compartir algunas de sus impresiones sobre la importancia de este evento para los ciudadanos de Eagle Pass. 

"Estamos celebrando que somos una de las zonas privilegiadas que en realidad tienen una clínica que demuestra la atención de salud para todos, incluso aquellos que no tienen seguro médico o con seguro insuficiente. Hacemos esto al ofrecer descuentos basados ​​en la capacidad de pago del paciente. Hemos estado haciendo esto por casi 35 años en nuestra área ". 

"En Texas hay 258 condados y menos del 50% de ellos tienen los centros de salud con calificación federal como nosotros. Somos muy afortunados de estar en este grupo. Estamos celebrando el hecho de que tenemos este gran recurso en nuestra zona. "

"Es un honor ser parte de una organización tan increíble que representa los cen  tros de salud comunitarios en todo Estados Unidos," dijo el Director de la Clinica Humberto Duran, "El resultado final es que se da a las personas la oportunidad de participar en el cuidado de su salud a través de la política de puertas abiertas que existe en esa toda persona tiene derecho a una atención sanitaria de calidad y nadie será negado por el color, el sexo o la incapacidad de pago."

UMC celebrates National Health Centers Week

 The United Medical Centers, as one of less than 50% of all counties in the State of Texas that are fortunate enough to have such a facility, are counting their blessings in celebration of this national week of awareness of community health centers.

UMC CEO George Kypuros was gracious enough to share a few of his impressions of the significance of this event to the citizens of Eagle Pass.

"We are celebrating that we are one of the privileged areas that actually have a clinic providing health care to everyone even those that are uninsured or underinsured.  We do this by providing discounts based on the patient's ability to pay.  We've been doing so for almost 35 years in our area."

"In Texas there are 258 counties and less than 50% of them have federally qualified health centers like we do.  We're very fortunate to be in this group. We're celebrating the fact that we have this great resource in our area."

"It's an honor to be a part of such an amazing organization that represents community health centers across the United States," stated Clinic Director Humberto Duran, "The bottom line is that it gives people the opportunity to participate in caring for their health through the open-door policy that exists in that everyone has the right to quality health care and no one will be denied because of color, gender or the inability to pay."
