For fiscal year 2008, Baylor will report $429.5 million in community benefit to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The program is designed to improve community health status, increase health care access for the poor and expand volunteerism. As part of Project Access, the Office of Community Health coordinates a Volunteers-in-Medicine program with Central Dallas Ministries and other clinics to utilize physicians to treat the medically underserved. The program has shown a reduction in uninsured citizens using Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas’ emergency department for routine medical conditions.
