Care

Bethesda Health Clinic was founded in 2003 to help hard-working, uninsured East Texans receive affordable healthcare. We are a 501c3 nonprofit that accepts $0 in state or federal funding. We are 100% community supported and thrive from the generosity of medical volunteers, churches, individuals and businesses.

Bethesda serves low-income, working, uninsured East Texans. We give our patients a primary medical home. Without Bethesda they would be forced to seek care at the emergency room or choose between feeding their families and going to the doctor.

Our vision is to serve and honor Christ by inspiring our neighbors to live an abundant life, a life that is healthy in mind, body and spirit… a life that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful and eternal.

Bethesda is led by Dr. John English, who has served as the clinic’s CEO since 2004. Our team is made up of paid and volunteer medical and dental professionals, as well as support staff.

Since its inception, the clinic has served more than 20,000 patients and completed more than 265,000 patient visits.


#### At this location we provide:

- Primary Care
- Dental Care 
- Mental health 
- Some specialty programs and mediation.

La Clínica de Salud Bethesda fue fundada en 2003 para ayudar a los trabajadores, no asegurados, de East Texas a recibir atención médica asequible. Somos una organización sin fines de lucro 501c3 que no acepta $0 en financiamiento estatal o federal. Estamos 100% apoyados por la comunidad y prosperamos gracias a la generosidad de voluntarios médicos, iglesias, individuos y empresas.

Bethesda atiende a texanos de bajos ingresos, trabajadores y no asegurados. Les damos a nuestros pacientes un hogar médico primario. Sin Bethesda, se verían obligados a buscar atención en la sala de emergencias o a elegir entre alimentar a sus familias y acudir al médico.

Nuestra visión es servir y honrar a Cristo inspirando a nuestros vecinos a vivir una vida abundante, una vida que sea saludable en mente, cuerpo y espíritu… una vida que sea significativa, con propósito, alegre y eterna.

Bethesda está dirigida por el Dr. John English, quien ha sido el CEO de la clínica desde 2004. Nuestro equipo está compuesto por profesionales médicos y dentales remunerados y voluntarios, así como personal de apoyo.

Director of Community Relations

### Serving East Texas for Over 20 years

The idea for Bethesda was born in 1999 when Dr. Michael Massar, Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, received a call from a local physician who was interested in setting up a community clinic at the church.

Dr. Massar was inspired to help and soon reached out to other clergy in the area to see if they were interested in a more ambitious idea – a multi-congregation, shared health ministry. Years earlier, a parishioner named Porter Skidmore had donated an 11,000-square-foot building to First Baptist, and this could serve as the home of the ministry. A steering committee and board were formed, and they agreed to move forward as quickly as possible by renovating a 3,000-square-foot area in the Skidmore building. Donations of furniture, lab equipment, supplies and money poured in, and Bethesda opened its doors on September 6, 2003. Two doctors and four nurses were on duty. Thanks to the generosity of early contributors and a sizable gift from an anonymous donor, remodeling continued and the clinic expanded its capacity dramatically. By the end of 2004, the clinic had logged nearly 4,800 patient visits.

Large scale remodeling of the rest of the building was finished in January 2004, and the clinic began expanding its services beyond primary care services to include cardiology, gastroenterology, gynecology, podiatry, orthopedics, psychology, dentistry, physical therapy, ophthalmology, endocrinology, rheumatology, pulmonary, neurology, nephrology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, EKG, diabetes, radiology and lab work.

In 2015 the clinic once again underwent large scale remodeling. The David F. Nichols, DDS dental clinic came into being and expanded dentistry capacity greatly with the addition of two dental chairs and a hygienist chair for a total of 5 dental spaces. The Harold B. Cameron, MD medical clinic was formed and several additional exam room spaces were created to increase our capacity for primary care patients and some specialty visits, including a staff gynecologist available for Women’s health services. More administrative office space was added as well by taking in the former front porch.

Increased accessibility to care for patients in need of mental health services was expanded in 2019 with the addition of an on-site counselor who sees patients each week.

In 2020 Bethesda will celebrate 17 years of successful operation. Since its inception, the clinic has served more than 11,000 patients and completed more than 125,000 patient visits.

Marketing and Education Coordinator

In October 1982, eight caregivers attended the first Alzheimer’s Family Support Group in Tyler.  The purposes and goals of this founding group were to provide support and information to caregivers, to educate the public about the disease and its effects on persons living with the disease and their caregivers, and to support research.  In 1989, the local group affiliated with a national organization, the Alzheimer’s Association and became the Northeast Texas Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and assumed leadership in 23 counties of Northeast Texas. 

In the late 1990’s, the national organization began a realignment process aimed at reducing the number of local chapters.  During this same timeframe, the local board began to experience a number of their own concerns, including decreased representation and dissemination of organization funds to a broader geographic area.  In 2002, the Northeast Texas Chapter began the process of disaffiliation from the national organization and by October of that year, the group had its 501(c) 3 designation and began operating as the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Northeast Texas, Inc.

At that time the Alliance, operating out of a Tyler office, served 16 counties in this geographic region of East Texas.  During the last half of 2008, the board carefully evaluated all programs and services being offered, the impact being made, and the overall support, both financial and volunteer, from each county.  Following this thorough review, the board made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce the service area from 16 counties to one, being Smith County.  Effective January 1, 2009 the corporation began legally doing business as the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County.

After 39 years of service, the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County has grown into a unique organization like no other. As a retirement community and as the aging population in Smith County continues to increase, the rate of Alzheimer’s and other dementia are also anticipated to increase significantly in the next few years and the Alliance wants to continue to grow and expand to meet the needs of our growing community.

 The Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County is a local, independent nonprofit committed to providing life-changing support to persons living with dementia and their caregivers. With a small staff, a determined board and wonderful volunteers we provide the only access to support, assistance and education that is available for families in our area struggling to cope with this disease.

#### HISTORY

**“You feel very isolated and alone, and that’s the driving force behind the idea of Mercy Manor…to speak life into these young ladies and let them know they’re not defined by their circumstances, and we have a sovereign God who can take the most hurtful of situations and turn it into something powerful.”
— Stephanie Fears, Founder**

Mercy Manor was founded in 2013 after Texas Legislation did away with maternity home licensing. All long-term housing was approved for those 18 years of age and older.

This left a large number of girls ages 13-17 requesting help with no place to go.

Having experienced a teen pregnancy at the age of 16, Stephanie Fears (Founder & Executive Director) understands the fear, confusion, chaos, guilt, and shame that comes with a teen pregnancy. Abortion was encouraged, but it was not an option they would consider. 

She praises God every day that her heart was burdened for that precious child to have life! 

It was Stephanie’s compassion for these young ladies that birthed our ministry.

For Stephanie and her family, they chose adoption, and after reuniting with her son 20 years later, she has been able to witness the benefits of the alternatives to abortion. She has seen the productive life her son is living, gained a personal relationship with his adoptive parents, and heard the blessing this young man has been in the lives of those desperately wanting to have and love a child of their own!

Throughout the last few years, by God’s grace, Mercy Manor has continued to grow. As a ministry, they have expanded their services, and they are now serving individuals of all ages who find themselves facing a crisis pregnancy.
