The founding concept of Project Access is to develop and sustain
a private practice network of volunteer physicians and healthcare
providers to increase healthcare access.

Dallas
County Medical Society
Physicians
across Dallas County have volunteered in Project Access by seeing
a limited number of patients in their offices. DCMS assigns and
tracks appointment "donations," so no volunteer physician
receives more patients than he or she authorizes.

Dallas Academy
of Medicine
Funding is managed through the Dallas Academy of Medicine, DCMS’
charitable foundation, created in 1974. DAM is a 5.01(c)(3) charity
and can receive tax-deductible donations.
