LATINO HEALTH CARE was created to provide healthcare for the Latino population who has the need and a right for quality medical services at affordable prices. For years, we have provided medical services for different insurance companies that operate as intermediaries offering medical programs for laborers of Latino origin in the US and Mexico. Our competitors such as BLUE SHIELDS and HEALTHNET, establish raised fees for health services in order to cover the high costs, elevating the premiums paid by employers for their employees.

This situation motivated hospital owners, ophthalmologic and dental service providers to join and create a company that could offer healthcare services directly to the users at a lower cost. This is the reason why “LATINO HEALTH CARE NETWORK”, was incorporated in the state of California .

Hospital Hispano Americano, Hospital de la Mujer , Centro Oftalmológico , Dental One y Optical One, as well as an extensive network of pharmacies and specialists, among others, joined in for the first time with the same desire, mission and one vision, because the healthcare of our people is the basis for unity across the border.

LATINO HEALTH CARE NETWORK answers to the needs of Hispanics residing in California for medical attention. Our priority is to help the Hispanic population attain the information and resources that they need in order to improve their quality of life.

Almost half of the Latino population in California is employed by small and medium size businesses that cannot afford to provide them with full medical insurance. As a result, more then 3 million people are unable to have this service in Southern California, the demands and aspirations must be met in order to service the aspirations and demands of the Hispanic people: Access to quality medical services, personalized service in English and Spanish as well as affordable prices.

Among the reasons for which both employers and employees prefer to receive medical health care in Mexico , even when they have US issued medical insurance are:

• a) Lack of comprehensive coverage by insurance companies.
• b) Elevated costs of medical services and the difficulty to have medical assistance during the weekends or non-working hours.
• c) Language barrier for Non-English speaking users.
• d) Hispanics feel greater confidence, due to the fact that Medical Service Providers in Mexico follow up on their patients, listen to them, and better understand their needs.
• e) Also, polls have shown that primary medical services in Mexico are superior to those provided in the U.S.

To provide binational healthcare services on the border and area of influence with the highest standards of quality, where we can provide the Latino community in the US with medical assistance that fulfills their needs and expectations, through a service with high human content in their own language and familiar culture.

We wish to have a clear, current, and human concept of the need for well being and health for the Latino community in the US; to be the best network of hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities in the border area; to have continuous, organized and systematic improvement, training and update of our service providers and to become a successful and profitable enterprise with a great social and moral compromise with our people.
