MEDICAL
SERVICES
In recent years, excellent progress has been
made in bringing medical, dental and pharmaceutical
services to the Horizon area. Two pediatric clinics
have been established, this at a time when El
Paso continues to struggle with attracting physicians,
particularly pediatricians.
The Horizon Physicians clinic is a private practice
operated by Dr. Rodin Mendoza-Castillo. Initially,
the clinic operated from two locations, but accommodation
problems have limited a local presence. Horizon Communties
is working with Dr. Mendoza to help him build a permanent
clinic in the center of Horizon. In the meantime,
Dr. Mendoza is operating from rented premises in
East El Paso.
The Child Wellness Center, operating out of the
Region 19 Head Start center on Darrington Road, is
an initiative of Texas Tech University Health Science
Center. The resident pediatrician is Dr. Alison Days.
She was joined by a second pediatrician in 2003.
The area is also served by Clinic Guadalupe, a general
practice presently based in neighboring Agua Dulce,
Texas.
