Our Vision & Mission

And our goal is to expand healthcare access and improve health outcomes for residents of Tarrant County utilizing the charitable gifts of a network of existing volunteer physicians and collaborative partners.
Help Us Continue our Work!
Since our medical services are donated, our programs costs are minimal. Your donations help cover the staff to administer the program, translation and transportation services, office expenses, and the occasional out of pocket expense that PATC may need to cover for a patient. The average cost of one patient completing our process is $1,000.
