What are the services offered by the Mission? Volunteer healthcare providers and support staff offer basic primary healthcare to adults between the ages of 18 and 64 who cannot afford health insurance because their family income is less than 200% of the federal poverty level. They are the working poor or unemployed who are not eligible for Texas Medicaid ( only available to children, pregnant females, and disabled adults ). Patients are asked to donate $10 per visit. Services are delivered at our Boerne office or in Comfort with our mobile clinic. We also have a limited network of specialists, dentists, and OB/GYN clinics to refer patients. We offer low cost or free medications, diabetic testing supplies, laboratory testing, and x-rays. We require participation in our Risk Buster Program, a diet & exercise counseling program. We are providing charitable healthcare to 750 adult residents of Kendall County. Surveys show patients are very satisfied with our services and we are making them healthier. As a result, our patients are less likely to suffer disabling complications and less likely to overuse our local ER for preventable problems. We have a 75% success rate in reducing health risks through exercise, weight loss, healthy diet, and smoking cessation. The Mission also promotes volunteerism in the community. We have almost 100 volunteers.
