Federal investment will support HHM Health’s mission to humanize healthcare by bringing comprehensive care to more Dallas families.
HHM Health, a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving communities across the Dallas Metroplex, has been selected as the only Dallas recipient of New Access Points funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The funding will help HHM Health expand access to affordable, comprehensive healthcare for underserved communities across Dallas.
Providing integrated, patient-centered care across nine locations throughout the Dallas Metroplex, HHM offers low-cost, high-quality healthcare services for men, women, and children. The organization is dedicated to reducing healthcare disparities and increasing access to care for underserved communities across Dallas.
The award is part of a $102 million national investment to expand the reach of the Health Center Program and increase access to comprehensive primary care for nearly 1 million people nationwide.
“Being selected as the only Dallas recipient of this funding is an important opportunity to expand the care we provide to the communities that need it most,” said Brian Hawkins, CEO of HHM Health. “Too many individuals and families still face barriers to receiving consistent, high-quality healthcare. This investment will help us reach more of our neighbors and continue providing compassionate, comprehensive care that meets people where they are.”
Through this investment, HHM Health will continue building on its mission to provide comprehensive care while addressing the healthcare needs of communities that have historically faced barriers to accessing medical services.
HHM Health’s integrated model brings a wide range of services together to care for the whole person, including adult and internal medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, dental, vision, pharmacy, imaging, and nutrition services. Expanding access to these services allows patients and families to receive care in a trusted healthcare setting while addressing their physical, behavioral, and preventive health needs.
Nationwide, HRSA-funded health centers serve more than 32 million people through more than 16,000 service sites. These health centers play a critical role in providing affordable, accessible care and addressing health disparities in communities across the country.
For HHM Health, the New Access Points award is an investment in the future health of Dallas. As the organization continues to grow, HHM Health remains committed to meeting communities where they are and ensuring that more individuals and families have access to the care they need with love, compassion, and respect.
