PHOENIX, AZ 85009 SERVE LOW-INCOME, PRIMARILY HISPANIC, UNINSURED PATIENTS. MORE THAN 70 PERCENT OF WESLEY'S PATIENTS ARE UNINSURED, AND MANY ARE IMPACTED NEGATIVELY BY AT LEAST ONE SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH SUCH AS ACCESS TO CARE, FINANCIAL BARRIERS, LACK OF TRANSPORTATION AND FOOD INSECURITY. THE COMMUNITIES WESLEY SERVES IN THESE TWO SITES RELY ON WESLEY TO GAIN ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
