The state of Texas has the highest number of uninsured people in the U.S. In Central Texas alone:

• Forty percent of economically disadvantaged families lack health care coverage 
• Almost 25 percent of children up to 18 are uninsured 
• Uninsured children and youth are four times more likely to delay necessary care and five times more likely to use emergency rooms as a regular resource for care

We seek to ensure that low income families in Central Texas get better access to quality, affordable health care. We support innovative clinics that offer:

• Extended evening and weekend hours 
• Resources that link patients and families to basics such as health insurance
• Locations convenient to high need communities
• Management of chronic diseases like asthma, childhood obesity, and mental health
• Community-specific linguistic abilities and intervention programs
