Grapevine Relief And Community Exchange

The grace community clinic provides primary medical care and prescriptions to low income clients with no other means to access healthcare. Many patients of the clinic have never had preventative care and do not realize how compromised their health is until they begin to improve with routine medical assistance. The clinic provided 5,151 patient visits this year. Volunteer medical professionals provided services; referrals for clients needing specialty treatment and well-woman clinics provided education, screening and testing. The diabetic educational program provided ongoing care for diabetic patients and educational seminars for clients and the public. The volunteers provided approximately 2,890 hours of time to grace community clinic including limited specialty service like cardiology.

The housing program provides long-term assistance and case management for homeless individuals and families working toward becoming self-sufficient. The program gives families a clean, stable home for a minimum of six months to a maximum of two years. Housing clients participate in intensive case management and pursue educational, career and financial goals. Case management appointments are scheduled weekly, with case managers assisting day-to-day as needed. All activities are tailored for each participant and aimed at client self-determination and securing self-sufficiency.
