Over 70% of our patients are Hispanic females with children; few would have an option for health care without CDM.

Our Class-D Pharmacy provides nearly 20,000 prescriptions per year to patients who would otherwise go without medication.

Our goal is to become the medical home for over 2,000 regular patients.

The health and wellness component of Central Dallas Ministries is Community Health Services, which includes primary care medical services, dental services, community-based care coordination and a Class D pharmacy operated in partnership with CommuniCare (click here for more).

After successfully operating its first health clinic for many years, the program opened its second clinic at the Preston Road Church of Christ in December 2003. That clinic, known as Christ's Family Clinic, is now located in the Highland Park United Methodist Church.

The program also recently launched CoDE (Community Diabetes Education), which is helping dozens of suffering patients suffering to manage this chronic disease. The results of this program, which are outlined here, are gaining national attention in the medical world.

These services are made possible through the strength of collaborative partnerships with Baylor Health Care System, Inc., Texas Tech School of Pharmacy, Parkland Health and Hospital System, the Dallas County Medical Society and several other community organizations, churches, and non-profits.

We look at our patients as holistic human beings who confront both medical and non-medical barriers that prevent them from getting healthy. Our goal is to be the health and wellness home of our patients, to teach them preventative care and measures to enable them to take control of chronic diseases (such as diabetes and hypertension), treat their acute health needs, and help them access more advanced care and support when needed through care coordination.
