A grand-opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for Suvida Healthcare’s new neighborhood clinic in South Austin took place on Friday, June 16th.

Representatives from Austin Councilmember Vanessa Fuentes and Mayor Kirk Watson’s offices were also in attendance.

Suvida Healthcare is a primary care program built to address the physical, behavioral, social, and cultural needs of Medicare-eligible, Hispanic seniors and those that care for them in neighborhoods across the United States. What makes Suvida different is their approach to delivering culturally competent care. Staffed with bilingual doctors and team members Suvida is poised to deliver a transformative, wholistic approach to healthcare for underserved older adults.

“As a Mexican immigrant deeply grounded in primary care, I recognize the crucial role of culture and community in shaping our health and wellbeing. Being a family caregiver and healthcare provider, I've experienced firsthand the challenges faced by our Hispanic seniors. It's these experiences that fuel my commitment to provide holistic, exceptional healthcare tailored to their unique needs. Our multidisciplinary team at Suvida, comprising dedicated clinicians, pharmacists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and guides, ensures that our culturally informed care model is more than just a commitment; it's a daily reality. Together, we're not just aspiring to ensure dignity, respect, and care for our senior community - we're actively making it happen.” -Dr. Omar Matuk, Chief Medical Officer for Texas at Suvida Healthcare.

Suvida aims at improving the overall quality of life of its patients, their caregivers, and the neighborhoods it serves. They are expected to expand their services to North Austin soon to help meet the high demand for care in the Austin area.
