  15. Goal # 5: Support expansion of Su Clinica Familiar. Su Clinica Familiar is a central player in the development of the RAHC. As a member of the Harlingen Healthcare Council, Elena Marin, M.D. has provided insight on the needs of Su Clinica Familiar, and with her input, the Council will continue its ongoing support for the growth of Su Clinica Familiar.

  16. Goal # 6: Support philanthropic efforts for medical fellowships. The Harlingen Healthcare Council strongly supports the development of a private, non-profit Medical Foundation, set up by private individuals from our Community to develop teaching fellowships and medical student scholarships at the RAHC. We believe this is a vital element in the development of a full, four year medical school. Harlingen 100 Plan: Healthcare Task Force Status Report

  17. Goal # 7: Support a healthcare policy institute. State Representative Eddie Lucio III has developed a plan for a Healthcare Policy Institute for South Texas. The Harlingen Healthcare Council is working with Mr. Lucio on his plans. A kick-off forum, scheduled for this September in Harlingen and South Padre Island was cancelled due to Hurricane Dolly. Discussions are continuing. Harlingen 100 Plan: Healthcare Task Force Status Report

In 2007, the City of Harlingen started the RioMetro transit system to meet this specific need. Harlingen 100 Plan: Healthcare Task Force Status Report
