2011 Project Access Dallas
Partners
Project Access Dallas is about the life-stories of people
who have received healthcare services through the generosity of our volunteer
physicians, and the donated services and funding from our partners.
Working to find a solution to the challenges physicians
face in caring for uninsured patients, in 2001 the Dallas County Medical
Society and several community partners created a community service program
called Project Access Dallas. The program was created to assist Dallas
County residents who struggle daily with the challenges of poverty and
who have no access to health care, while providing physicians with resources
they need to care for such patients. The heartbeat of the program is compassionate
care for our community’s uninsured residents. The program is a network
of volunteer physicians, partnering hospitals, charity health clinics,
and ancillary partners who volunteer to care for working poor patients.
Physicians, hospitals or ancillary partners who volunteer
in the program agree to see a set number of patients per year, at no charge.
Patients are referred for enrollment in the program from volunteer physicians,
partnering charity health clinics, and partnering hospitals. Because of
the generous donated services of our partners, a PAD patient is assigned
a primary care physician, receives $750 a year in pharmacy benefits, and
has access to free specialty care, labs, ancillary procedures, care coordination,
and inpatient hospital care.
Since PAD 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.
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.
