Mission
Our Mission is to PROVIDE PERSONALIZED AND COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CARE to those who enter our clinic doors. We strive to be THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS CHRIST to the hurting and marginalized, treating every patient as a beloved child of God.
Vision
We believe EVERY PERSON WE SERVE IS LOVED BY GOD and worthy of the very best care. We envision A DAY WHEN NO ONE IS FORGOTTEN, unseen, or without an advocate; a day when healing of the body opens the door to healing of the whole person. Every life we touch will know, without question, that GOD IS ON THEIR SIDE.
The Healing Shepherd Clinic is dedicated to providing education, preventative care, and medical treatment to homeless individuals in a climate of compassion and dignity.
The homeless are exposed to harsh weather, malnutrition, diseases, and lack of sanitation. Many are unaware that they have chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or mental illness. Often, their only option for medical care is to go to the emergency room, even for something as simply treated as an infection. The Healing Shepherd Clinic provides primary and preventative care to the residents at Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County and tenants of The Vineyard on Lancaster affordable housing apartments. Patients at the clinic can be treated for many common illnesses and conditions that are prevalent in the homeless population including heart, liver, and kidney diseases; skin infections; chronic pulmonary disease; diabetes and hypertension.
Volunteer physicians donate their time each week to treat patients with the assistance of the part-time nurse practitioner and part-time RN's and Medical Assistants. Together, they care for the mental, physical and spiritual well being of our residents and guests.
*Healing Shepherd Clinic is a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit operating on the Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County Campus.
