Most People's patients are from working families not able to afford healthcare insurance premiums and whose employers do not offer healthcare insurance coverage. There are approximately 280,000 uninsured adults and children (1 in 4) in the Austin metropolitan area. People's serves as the medical home for over 11,000 patients in our community.

People's provides continuity of care that an Emergency Room simply is not designed to offer on a sliding scale basis according to patients' income.
