As El Paso continues to grow and thrive, University Medical Center (UMC) of El Paso’s mission to heal, serve, and educate resonates across every neighborhood, from downtown to the far Eastside.
UMC isn’t just a hospital, it’s the only community‑owned, not‑for‑profit regional health system in the area, serving El Paso, West Texas, Southern New Mexico, and beyond. Through initiatives supported by the UMC Foundation, patients receive high‑quality, accessible care regardless of ability to pay.
The Foundation helps bridge gaps by funding modern equipment, community programs, and supportive services that improve health outcomes right here at home.
Programs like Diabetes Care Plus expand patient support for chronic conditions, combining clinical care with personalized education to help more El Pasoans manage their health successfully.
Rooted in a Proud, Diverse Community
El Paso is one of the most Hispanic‑majority cities in the U.S., with over 80 % of residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino, a vibrant cultural identity that shapes local life and health needs. This cultural richness means health care must be inclusive, compassionate, and attuned to the needs of Spanish‑speaking families and border communities alike.
UMC’s programs often reflect that commitment in both language and service.
Community Engagement
UMC and its Foundation bring wellness beyond the clinic walls. From family health fairs and volunteer opportunities to support events like community runs and outreach campaigns, UMC Cares encourages El Pasoans to participate in their own well‑being.
