Making Healthcare Accessible for All
Tepeyac Community Health Center has a coordinated care team dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Our family physician, Dr. Emily Johnson, provides care for both children and adults, and our pediatrician, Dr. Columba Marcantonio, has extensive experience caring for children with disabilities. All Tepeyac providers have also completed disability competency training to ensure every patient receives high-quality, compassionate care.
Our medical, case management, behavioral health, and pharmacy teams work together to connect you with services, assist with therapies, and ensure you have access to the medications you need.
At Tepeyac, no one is ever turned away because of an inability to pay. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance plans, and offer a sliding fee discount program for all qualifying patients.
