Methodist Healthcare Ministries (MHM)
is a private, faith-based, not-for-profit organization
dedicated to providing medical and health-related human
services to low-income families and the uninsured in South
Texas. These services include
primary care medical and dental clinics, support
services like counseling, case management and social services,
family wellness and parenting programs, and
church-based community nursing programs. MHM also works with
similarly-focused organizations and state government in developing more socially
conscious
public policy. The purpose is to change legislative perspectives and
policies so that the root of the problems of the underserved are addressed for
the long-term. In addition, MHM provides
financial support to established organizations that are already effectively
fulfilling the needs of the underserved in local communities through programs
and services that they already operate.
Mission Statement
The
mission of the organization is “Serving Humanity to Honor God,” by improving the
physical, mental and spiritual health of those least served in the
Southwest Texas Conference area of The United Methodist Church.
