Since 2011, Open Arms Health Clinic (OAHC) has provided free care to uninsured and underinsured North Texans in need. More than 85% of our patients have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or asthma. Most have little to no savings, are employed in low-paying jobs, or have recently lost their jobs and are not eligible for government assistance.
A 501©3 nonprofit funded by private grants and donations, Open Arms is run by volunteer medical professionals and others from the local community. Clinic services include acute and chronic general healthcare, social services, counseling, chronic health education, physical therapy, GYN, orthopedics and dermatology.
To provide free, quality, compassionate healthcare to individuals and families of North Texas dealing with chronic and non-emergency acute illnesses, who have barriers to accessing healthcare, by promoting wellness and providing physical, emotional, and spiritual care in a loving, nurturing environment.
Your 2022 Giving Day donation will help fund these needs:
TECHNOLOGY REBOOT: We need to replace 8 aging staff computers ($900 each) and 10 provider laptops ($750 each) - $14,700
COUNSELOR TRAINING: Our counselors need advanced training courses to better serve our current patient needs - $2,000
DIABETIC SUPPLIES: We are requesting funds for essential diabetic supply kits for patients - $6,000
We have seen how a lack of healthcare can devastate peoples’ lives. We believe every person - no matter their income, race, gender, education level or citizenship status - deserves compassionate, quality healthcare. Our clinic was created by religious healthcare professionals to provide free health-related services to neighbors in need in our community - without questions or exceptions.
Our holistic health approach respects differences of culture and language. We also recognize how barriers such as unstable housing, low income, unsafe neighborhoods, and substandard education impact a patient’s long-term health. Our goal is to help patients overcome some of these inequities, including access to care, so they may live happier, healthier lives.
We strive to be agents of change, providing a lifeline and a path forward to those in need. Our volunteer staff of 60+ medical professionals and others help patients gain control of their own health through medical and specialist care, health education, counseling and social services. Our sole limitation is the number of providers willing to open their arms to the many more needing our care.
