Our Partnership

Since 1961, St. Elizabeth’s Health Center has been committed to the mission to provide health care services to the uninsured and the underserved in our community. Last year, both SEHC and El Rio Boards of Directors began a formal discussion about SEHC becoming part of the El Rio family. The St. Elizabeth’s board agreed to the merger proposed by the El Rio board.

In order to better serve our patients, St. Elizabeth’s Health Center has merged with El Rio Health. The name, St. Elizabeth’s Health Center, will remain the same and will continue to be your medical home in its current location. As a patient, you are eligible for the following benefits:

• Access to El Rio Health’s Pharmacy and Radiology
• Access to other El Rio Health Centers that include after hours care and Saturday hours
• 24/7 nurse triage for medical questions

You can continue to call and schedule your appointments with your current, medical provider. Most of St. Elizabeth’s employees have become El Rio employees and will stay on site to continue the quality care St. Elizabeth’s is known for providing. The goal is to increase programs and services for St. Elizabeth’s patients and continue to operate through this new venture.

Welcome to El Rio!
