Lizett Valdez's Company Details
Woven Health Clinic is a 501c3 charitable clinic that provides primary health care services for people who live in Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Farmers Branch, and northwest Dallas that cannot afford healthcare. The Clinic is recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient Centered Medical Home.Founded in 1992, it incorporated in 1993 as On Eagles Wings by two local churches, who saw an urgent need for healthcare for the underprivileged in the community. At the outset, the Clinic was open one night a week and some weekends with an all-volunteer medical staff. In 2003, the Clinic joined Dallas County Medical Society Project Access. This partnership allowed the Clinic to hire some paid staff, including a nurse, family practice physician, and medical assistants. Changing its name to Metrocrest Family Medical Clinic, it also added volunteer specialists in Dermatology, Gynecology, and Neurology.In 2011, the Clinic expanded funding to include Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison and Coppell and additional resources from HCA. It also expanded its hours to become a full-time operation, Monday through Friday, with a full-time internal medicine physician. The name was changed to Metrocrest Community Clinic and its focus became primary care.In 2016, the Clinic received new grant funding from Metrocrest Hospital Authority, Dallas Women's Foundation, and the American Heart Association. The Clinic focused its resources on Chronic Disease Management, Disease Prevention, and Women's Health. The Clinic added a nutritionist and a behavioral specialist, and formalized a partnership with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center for Behavioral and Mental Health.The Clinic offers comprehensive, prevention-focused healthcare, both physical and mental, to treat the entire person. Changing its name to Woven Health Clinic, it believes the healthcare services provided are woven inextricably into the fabric of the communities it serves.
