Irving Interfaith Clinic is the only free medical and dental clinic in Irving, and has been in operation since 2006. We provide medical and dental services to uninsured residents of the Irving community, qualifying all patients on income level, and medical patients on the severity of illness.

 

Our vision is to represent God’s mercy by improving the overall healthcare of the marginalized residents of Irving through quality medical care and by preventing disease through education. We endeavor to serve each individual with love and patience, seeing God in each of them.

 

Our History

Irving Interfaith Clinic began in January of 2006 with the help of parishioners from St. Luke’s Catholic Church who saw the need for a free medical clinic in Irving. Staffed by volunteer physicians, dentists and nurses, the clinic saw 175 patients in the first year, one evening a week and on Saturdays. Each year, the number of patient visits increased, requiring the clinic to move in 2007.  The need for access to medical care within the community continues to grow. Currently, almost half of the residents of Irving are without health insurance. Baylor Medical Center at Irving and the Irving Hospital Authority identified that need and stepped forward to help. Today, the clinic is housed adjacent to  Baylor Medical Center at Irving in the Coppertree Medical Building. Since 2005, the Board of the Irving Interfaith Clinic prayed to find a way to keep the clinic open during the day, 40 hours a week. We are grateful to report that this prayer has been answered in 2011. We now have a full-time primary care provider in addition to our volunteer physicians and dentists.

Our Funding

Irving Interfaith Clinic is fully funded by gifts from the community through the Irving Healthcare Foundation.
