Mission: The agape clinic's mission is to provide quality health care services unconditionally to underserved people.
Programs: The agape clinic accomplishes its mission by providing primary medical care, some specialty medical care and dental care services. Acute care/illness issues as well as routine physicals are addressed in our primary care services, in addition to chronic disease management for both type i and type ii diabetes, hypertension and mental health conditions. Specialty services include women's health, neurology, pediatrics, dermatology, asthma and allergy, ophthalmology, pediatrics, counseling services and endocrinology. Through a collaboration with texas a & m college of dentistry, the agape clinic provided 2,343 dental visits in just six months in our new facility. In 2016, the agape clinic provided 11,911 office visits for the working poor of dallas. The agape clinic's patients typically do not qualify for other charity health services or are under insured and their only option is to self-pay for care which is cost prohibitive for those living near or below the poverty line.
