History
Clinica Adelante, Inc. was formed in 1979 and incorporated in 1980
through a collaboration of community agencies who organized Surprise
and El Mirage, Arizona residents to lobby for improved health services
in the then-rural area. In response to community needs, clinic staff
expanded rapidly over the years, from a staff of 12 with 2.6 providers
in 1982, to our current staff of 189 with 23 full time providers.
Today, Clinica Adelante is an important part of the healthcare safety
net and continues to expand sites and services to meet the needs of the
communities we serve.
