Mission:
La Red, which means “The Network” in Spanish has been a safety net provider for women, children and families throughout Sussex County for nearly 25 years.
La Red cares for everyone regardless of their insurance status. La Red offers primary care, pediatric care, dental services, women’s health care, behavioral health, HIV/STI testing, access to a discount pharmacy program, transportation and referrals to low-cost cancer screenings, and most importantly prenatal care.
The Need:
La Red Health Center is one of the few health care providers in Sussex County that offers comprehensive care to everyone regardless of whether they health insurance. That's a big deal and lifesaving if you are one of the 11.1% of Sussex County residents who do not have health insurance. Health insurance is expensive and not always available to everyone.
Many residents who do have insurance often cannot afford health care services because of their high-deductibles, so many people will simply put off care until a small problem becomes a much larger, life-threatening health problem. La Red offers a sliding-fee scale to people with or without insurance, making health care services available, affordable and accessible to all Sussex County residents. It is what we do. Your support allows us to health care available to everyone.
La Red has set a goal of raising $20,000 through the Do More 24 Delaware Campaign.

The majority of La Red patients are uninsured, speak a language other than English and live at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. If La Red was not here, many of our patients would have very few options for health care services. La Red is a lifeline for many Sussex County families, particularly women and children. Your donation can help us make sure nobody in Sussex County goes without the health care they deserve.
