The Disciples Clinic of Athens offers basic medical and dental services for residents of Henderson County, Texas, who have no medical insurance, and who meet income and age requirements established by the Board of Directors. Applicants must work at least 20 hours per week.
The clinic is supported by donations and staffed almost completely by volunteers.
I applaud your efforts! The U.S. Is the only industrialized nation in the world that has decided that access to healthcare is a privilege of the well employed rather than a basic right for all. Although the Affordable Care Act has made healthcare available and affordable for an additional 20 million Americans, there are still 27 million who only have access when their condition becomes emergent (and much more expensive to treat) in hospital emergency rooms. That’s a poor healthcare delivery system and costs everyone who purchases insurance.
