Our Mission
La Red Health Center's, (LRHC) mission is to provide bilingual, culturally appropriate, high-quality, cost-effective, primary and preventive medical care to residents of Sussex County, Delaware with emphasis towards serving those who are underinsured, uninsured or who face other barriers to medical care. LRHC's medical services are available to all individuals regardless of gender, age, race, ethnic origin, religion, language, sexual orientation, or ability to pay.
Our History
La Red Health Center, (LRHC) operated as a 24 hour/7 days per week telephone hotline to facilitate access to medical care for individuals with no or limited English proficiency. Referrals were made to a network of primary and subspecialty care physicians who were bilingual and who treated patients at discounted rates. In February, 2001 LRHC was started by a network of physicians in Sussex County to meet the needs of a growing number of locally uninsured individuals. The physicians partnered with a local community hospital, a local community center, a local faith-based organization, and local government to help individuals in Sussex County who faced significant barriers to healthcare. The opening of LRHC represented the culmination of multiple years of needs assessment and collaborative public and private planning. In April 2003, LRHC transformed to an independent, federally and privately supported ambulatory care center. In April 2004, LRHC became a Federally Qualified Health Center,( FQHC) Look Alike. In 2005, LRHC was awarded FQHC status and federal funding started in 2006

Capital Campaign
La Red Health Center broke ground on Friday, February 4, 2011 on a new fully modernized ambulatory health care facility to expand its clinical services and add oral health services to meet the comprehensive medical, behavioral, and oral health needs of the medically underserved in Sussex County, Delaware.
This capital project has two distinct phases. Phase 1 includes the purchase of a three-acre site and construction of 15,000 square feet of clinical space. Phase 2 involves the construction of an additional 10,000 square feet to expand our mental health program, (MHP) and consolidate both the MHP providers and administrative staff into the new facility.
LRHC has obtained the funds needed for Phase 1 via a very active fundraising program targeted at institutional sources such as banks, corporations, foundations and government agencies as well as by securing a long-term financing commitment from the USDA.Going forward, LRHC expects the majority of the funds needed for Phase 2 to come individual contributors.
Please consider La Red Health Center in your philanthropic plans for the future.
