The founder and CEO of Electronic Interoperable Exchange Systems (EIXSYS), Amin Salahuddin, decided in 2012 to fulfill his vision of bringing healthcare to the uninsured and underserved populations. EIXSYS is based out of Austin, Texas, and began small, bringing health and professional education to Colony Park, an underserved area of Austin. As the popularity of EIXSYS’s mission grew, it was decided to launch a 501(C)(3), and today exists as EIXSYS Healthcare System (EHS), a non-profit organization with an independent board of directors.
Today, EHS has developed an innovative concept, allowing for free clinics to be established in community centers across the United States. We seek to establish patient-centered clinics that offer a wide range of primary and preventive health services to families and individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Our dedicated team of medical providers, nurses, and support staff provides a continuous source of high quality, comprehensive, and affordable medical care to uninsured and under-insured communities most in need. There are many barriers uninsured individuals face, other than socioeconomic status. Some of these are related to language, transportation, and cultural differences. EHS will exist to help patients overcome these barriers, by having a diverse, multilingual staff, which understands and is sensitive to the needs of each patient. All patients, regardless of income, insurance status, or race/ethnicity are served.
