Managing your family’s health often involves coordinating appointments, tracking medical information, and staying informed about hospital services. The UMC Cares app, developed by University Medical Center of El Paso, provides a centralized platform for official hospital updates and essential portals. By bringing these services directly to your smartphone, the app helps streamline care management, save time, and support informed decisions for your family’s well-being.
Here are five practical ways the UMC Cares app can save you time and streamline your family’s health needs in 2026:
