Bethesda Health Clinic is a Christ-centered ministry that provides medical care, dental care, and wellness education to hardworking low income adults who are uninsured or underinsured. To qualify for services, patients must live or work in Smith County, make less than 200% of the federal poverty level, must work a minimum of 20 hours a week, and must have no access to health insurance (including insurance through work, Medicare, Mediciad, etc.). The clinic occupies an 11,000 square foot building in Tyler, TX and provides a full range of primary medical and dental care, as well as several specialty medical services. Patients are charged a small sliding-scale fee from $10 to $35 per visit, based upon their ability to pay and speciality. The clinic is staffed by a combination of paid professionals and 600+ community health care workers (243 volunteer doctors, 19 Dentists, 32 volunteer nurses, 10 and 348 volunteer clerical and 16 mechanical assistants) who volunteer their time on a rotating basis. Hangers of Hope is a "thrift store on a mission" that funds the charitable mission of Bethesda Health Clinic.
