Guadalupe Clinic can be found in the heart of downtown Wichita at 940 South St Francis in a building that was originally Our Lady of Guadalupe Elementary School.

​

Opening as Guadalupe Health Station in 1985, five nurses sought a grant from the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother to provide wellness services for locals in need. They were joined in 1987 by two physicians, Dan and Olga Tatpati and the health station became Guadalupe Clinic. In 2012, a second clinic location at South Hillside was opened to serve the underserved population of Planeview.

​

Our patient population is the poor, the uninsured and the underserved of the area, 18-65 years of age who earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level.

​

From the beginning, the Clinic has depended on the volunteerism of physicians and nurses and other healthcare providers who have donated their time and energy to provide medical care to countless individuals.

​

Since 2005, strategic partnerships were established with our hospitals, schools and health related entities. The University of Kansas (KU) School of Medicine medical students (Jaydocs), volunteer and train at the Clinic in order to provide hands-on learning opportunities and to care for our patients in the process. They are joined by, among others, the KU School of Pharmacy students and faculty; Wichita State University’s (WSU) College of Health Professions, Physical Therapy Program; the WSU College of Classical and Professional Languages for interpreters; Newman University School of Nursing; Ascension Via Christi Health System; and Wesley Family Medicine Residency Programs.

​

Essential to medical practice, laboratory testing is donated by LabCorp (formerly Affiliated Medical Services). The Wichita Radiological Group, through Kansas Mobile Solutions, donates  imaging on a weekly basis, and additional specialty services are provided through other partnerships.

​

Guadalupe Clinic is a non-profit, health clinic which exists through the generous donations of the community, through grants and fund raisers. There are no federal or Church funds given to the Clinic. The Clinic does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation.
