Project Access Dallas is about the life stories of people who have received services through the generosity of our volunteer physicians, donated hospital and diagnostic services and generous community funding.

Project Access Dallas is truly a community-wide collaborative among the physicians, hospitals and health care industry with a proven track record of providing compassionate care and medical homes for the working poor of our community. Since 2002 it has been a privilege for the physicians and the medical society to serve as the lead partner, working to improve the lives of patients, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce disparities in the health care system.

With $4.9 million of donated care in 2010, Project Access Dallas demonstrates that the Dallas healthcare community wants to improve health care for the uninsured. The program has produced unimagined stories of care delivery and health improvement among people in whom illnesses and poverty had stolen all hope. Without our partners, the lives of many patients would be very different.

Since Project Access Dallas began seeing patients (April 2002), the program has steadily grown to more than 2,100 physicians, 17 hospitals, 14 community and charity health clinics, 10 ancillary service support organizations, two national laboratory service organizations, and more than 40,000 pharmacies nationwide.
