Tepeyac Community Health Center

What Tepeyac Community Health Center does

Tepeyac Community Health Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Denver, Colorado, founded in 1995 as La Clinica Tepeyac. The organization provides integrated, team-based primary care to medically underserved populations in north Denver, with a particular focus on the Hispanic/Latinx community. It operates a 25,000-square-foot clinic at 2101 E. 48th Avenue completed in 2023 that consolidates primary care, pediatrics, dental care, behavioral health, pharmacy, lab and imaging, and specialty services including HIV care, addiction recovery (MOUD), intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) care, refugee health screening, and immigration physicals under one roof. A secondary administrative office is located at 4725 High Street. The clinical staff is largely bicultural and bilingual in Spanish and English, and the organization operates a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform for virtual visits alongside in-person care.

Tepeyac's business model is a hybrid of patient service revenue and philanthropic/government funding. Patient revenue is generated from insurance billings (Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Denver Health Medicaid, CHP+, Medicare, Medicaid) supplemented by a sliding-fee discount program for uninsured patients — the organization explicitly does not turn patients away for inability to pay. The remaining operating budget is funded by federal HHS Health Center Program grants (with associated Federal PHS deemed status for medical malpractice coverage), state grants (including Colorado Attorney General opioid response funds), foundation grants (Direct Relief Fund for Health Equity $180,000 in 2025; Intermountain Health $250,000 in 2022; Colorado Health Foundation; Caring for Colorado Foundation; Paul M. Angell Foundation), corporate philanthropy (Delta Dental, Marathon Petroleum), and individual donations including a landmark $5 million anonymous gift in February 2026.

The organization serves more than 8,000 patients annually, draws patients from four counties (Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson), and reports the highest percentage of uninsured patients in Colorado. It is governed by an independent Board of Directors with no parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership. CEO Jim Garcia leads executive operations. Beyond the fixed clinic, distribution includes mobile outreach (vaccine events, DMV2Go, refugee screenings), an on-site pharmacy open to non-patients, and earned media channels including a Rocky Mountain PBS documentary and recurring coverage in Denver-area press. Tepeyac has been recognized with the 2022 Gold Adolescent-Centered Environment Certification, the 2025 Direct Relief Fund for Health Equity award, and the 2025 Colorado Governor's Office Opportunity Now Award.
