Overview

Mission

The mission of People’s Community Clinic is to improve the health of medically underserved and uninsured Central Texans by providing high quality, affordable health care with dignity and respect.

What it reported doing in 2024

People's launched its dental program in 2016, initially rendering services in a dental van with only two dental chairs. The program expanded in 2022 and moved into a dedicated pod within the main clinic building. Today, the fully-staffed dental team serves patients through seven operatories and is currently at full operating capacity. In 2024, people's dental program served 3,752 patients through more than 9,200 visits (compared to 1,972 patients and 6,152 dental visits in 2023). The program offers both basic dentistry and expanded services such as endodontic, prosthodontic, and restorative dental care to help address issues compromising patients' quality of life. Expanding access to preventative dental care is a critical need among the clinic's patient population as most patients experience significant barriers accessing dental care. . Importantly, people's offers restorative procedures that other local federally qualified health centers do not. Without people's, these patients would likely forego addressing their dental needs as their options are limited locally through other community health centers and cannot afford private sector out-of-pocket prices. Delaying dental care could lead to worsened overall health outcomes and have life-threatening consequences for some.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 65% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
