Hope Clinic of Garland was incorporated in 2002, as a 501(c)(3) organization that provided urgent medical care and offered health education, personal encouragement and Christian ministry. Eight local churches provide financial support and over 100 of their members volunteer at Hope Clinic. Through a partnership with Baylor, Scott and White (BSW), they provide one full-time and one part-time physician. Specialty services offered at the clinic now include Cardiology, Dermatology, Optometry, Endocrinology, Gynecology, Pulmonary, Rheumatology, and Surgical. Through our physician volunteers, we are able to refer patients to Surgical, Nephrology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Podiatry, Urology, and Dental. In December 2014, we moved to a 5400 sq. ft. building that more than doubled our patient capacity. The new clinic has five examination rooms, triage area, laboratory, spiritual care room, doctor’s office, three rooms for continued health education, kitchen, and ample parking. This move and expansion was financed through very successful major capital campaign that left Hope Clinic debt-free and with a building that has long-term growth capacity. In our new facility, growth was immediate. The first quarter of 2015 has shown a 34% increase in existing patient visits and a 75% increase in new patients entering our programs. The success and growth of Hope Clinic has been through private funding to include individual donations, foundations, civic organizations, corporations, and church support.
