About
Bridging health care gaps for the underserved.
SET (Service, Empowerment, Transformation) was created by the Wheaton Franciscan Sisters in 1988 to serve the uninsured, underinsured and Medicaid populations in Colorado Springs.
Under the auspices of this program, highly skilled and compassionate doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and integrated behavioral health consultant provide access to free health clinics and community resources, acting as a bridge between the uninsured, underinsured, and the health care system. Integrative behavioral health provides short term therapy and support groups to address mental health and substance use disorders.
These programs embody the mission of CommonSpirit Health as they support our efforts to provide much-needed community health services.
Our Services
SET Family Medical Clinics serves all low income, uninsured and underinsured people, regardless of their ability to pay full price for services. SET has a discounted sliding fee schedule for those with limited financial resources. We do not discriminate based upon an individual’s race, color, gender, national origin, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. We accept Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHP+).
We also offer integrated behavioral health and have an on-site dental hygienist for cleanings and x-rays.
