Located 30 miles southeast of Houston in Dickinson, Texas, Point of Light Clinic opened quietly in 1989 in response to a growing need for health-care providers in a medically underserved area between Houston and Galveston.
Point of Light Clinic, staffed by volunteer physicians, nurses and clerical assistants, began to increase the number of evenings a month that services were provided. In its early years, the clinic served clients only two nights weekly, and relied on volunteers.
Now open 8-5 on weekdays (closed for lunch from 12 - 1) and staffed full-time by a family practitioner, the clinic’s services include—
"Having been seen by others in the healthcare field, this was the best I have ever been treated. The medication is right on target. I am very grateful. Point of Light has a great team full of compassion and a true sense of helping the complete person. I am so ever grateful. I have a hope now to get better. I have not felt well in years. I have a new chance to feel alive!"
CHRISTUS Foundation for HealthCare announces a generous fifteen thousand dollar gift from the Employee Community Fund of Boeing-Houston. The community-based health center, CHRISTUS Point of Light Clinic, will use the greatly needed donation to provide better access to healthcare, including prescription assistance and health education for the Dickinson, Texas community.
"Thank you so much for treating me at the clinic in Dickinson with so much kindness and respect. What a wonderful ministry. I can't believe there was a place that would take me in when I could not afford to pay and fell between the cracks of the system. The staff was so kind. I can not say enough."
