Health center program

The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration awarded $1.3 million to East Texas Community Clinic, Inc. on August 1, 2026, under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224) to expand access to primary health care services.

East Texas Community Clinic, Inc., a private non-profit health care organization that received Health Center Program Look-Alike designation in May 2023, will use the funding to establish a new access point serving low-income and uninsured persons and families in Henderson, Kaufman, and Van Zandt counties, three rural counties southeast of Dallas, Texas. The organization currently operates two clinic locations: one at 2415 West Main Street in Gun Barrel City, Texas (operational since May 20, 2020) and one at 115 Medical Circle, Suite 100 in Athens, Texas (operational since June 14, 2021). The Athens clinic serves as a continuity training site for the University of Texas Health Science Center Rural Family Residency Program, supporting family medicine residents preparing for rural practice.

The award obligates $1.3 million over a one-year period of performance ending July 31, 2027, with place of performance in Gun Barrel City, Texas. The three-county service area has an estimated population of 313,371, with 88,282 persons living at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
