Need Urgent Medical Care? Centro Médico Latino Is the Answer
The Latino community is the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the U.S., yet Latinos suffer from poorer healthcare outcomes than non-Latino groups. This is most likely due to the Latino community’s low health insurance coverage numbers. At Centro Médico Latino, we commit ourselves every day to doing our best to improve this concern within our community.

Why Choose Centro Médico Latino for Your Urgent Care Clinic?
Many Latino community members do not have a family doctor, also known as a primary care physician. Waiting until we need hospital care increases the expenses related to any illness. Putting off treatment also brings down our healthcare outcomes. In addition, many of our elders may live far from healthcare providers or cannot travel to family doctor appointments on their own.
An urgent care center like Centro Médico Latino provides an easy way to get needed medical services closer to home when your family doctor is not available or when you do not have a family doctor. In an urgent care center, you can receive walk-in medical care for urgent medical concerns, so you do not have to visit a traditional (and much more expensive) emergency room.
Our core values are another reason to visit Centro Médico Latino’s urgent care clinic. Those core values include the following:
- Our goal is to treat each patient with dignity and respect.
- We maintain the goal of keeping up with the latest in medical technology.
- We aim to keep lab tests and other expenses low to make them as affordable as possible for our patients.
- We deliver treatment results and options with honesty, open discussion, and empathy.
Our healthcare staff, headed by Dr. Carlos Rish, MD, has decades of experience delivering affordable healthcare in a manner targeted to overcome barriers to healthcare access in the Latino community.
