Hope clinic’s history and purpose according to their website:

Hope Clinic of Garland, Inc. began in 2002 as a ministry of First Baptist Garland when two church members recognized the need to provide primary healthcare to indigent and uninsured residents in Garland one night a week. Over the years the need for primary healthcare in the community increased. hopeIn 2007, the clinic moved to a larger facility and acquired its 501 (C) (3) non-profit status. In 2009, Hope Clinic became a partner with Baylor Scott-White Health system, and Hope Clinic remains a safety net clinic for BSW patients.

Medical partnerships have grown to include the Health Texas Partner Network, Parkland Health/Dallas Hospital District, as well as numerous specialty practices to aid diagnoses of our patients.  The clinic operates in a 5400 sq. ft. building in a residential area near downtown Garland, easily accessible to our patients. Beginning with one night a week in a borrowed space with an all-volunteer staff, Hope Clinic of Garland, Inc. has grown to a full-scale operation facilitating approximately 8,000 patient visits each year.

We exist to share the love of Jesus Christ by partnering with our community to provide primary health care and resources for healthy living to the underserved population.

The Purpose of Hope Clinic is to reflect Christ’s love by providing healthcare, spiritual support and community resources.
