Causes: Health and Mental Well-being
In 1973, a mother came with a sick child and a prescription she could not afford. Registered Nurse Eleanor Poe saw the need, and that moment became the beginning of El Paso Baptist Clinic. On opening day, the clinic had one doctor, one receptionist, one nurse and one patient. What began with one child has grown into more than five decades of compassionate care for uninsured and underserved neighbors in El Paso.
Today, approximately 160 volunteers, including physicians and dentists, help carry that mission forward. It takes approximately 70 volunteers each Saturday to operate the clinic and serve members of our community who need care. Since opening, El Paso Baptist Clinic has helped approximately 22,500 people. Our patients are not just numbers. They are our neighbors, families, coworkers and members of the El Paso community.
El Paso Baptist Clinic is sustained by people who choose to give their time, skills and financial support so that compassionate medical care can remain accessible to those who need it. Every volunteer matters. Every donation matters. Every patient matters. And that care continues because people choose to give.
Every patient has a story. Every gift helps make care possible.
Cada paciente tiene una historia. Cada donación ayuda a hacer posible su atención.
