San Jose Clinic meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

San José Clinic is recognized as one of the oldest charity clinics in the United States. Owned by and a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, San José Clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and United Way agency. The Clinic offers healthcare services exclusively to low-income, uninsured individuals and families. Founded in 1922, the Clinic uses a model of care based on dedicated volunteer healthcare providers and community volunteers who donate their time and services on a regular basis to address patients’ various health needs within a single convenient setting. San José Clinic services include primary and specialty medical care, general and specialty dentistry, optometry, health education, counseling and immunizations. Available medical specialty care includes cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, family practice, gynecology, internal medicine, nephrology, orthopedics, otolaryngology (ENT-Ear, Nose & Throat), pediatrics, podiatry, and rheumatology. Comprehensive treatment includes prescription medications and laboratory services at no additional cost to patients through the Clinic’s on-site pharmacy and laboratory services. Because of the focus on in-kind support, the Clinic’s services are extremely cost-effective, providing comprehensive services to patients who make nominal contributions-to-care, according to a sliding scale based on US poverty guidelines. Being able to contribute to their care gives patients a sense of ownership and dignity, although no one is turned away for lack of funds. Our costs remain low due to our extensive leveraging of volunteer time, donated medications and supplies, and support from funders that keep the Clinic costs at a fraction of the market costs. In 2009, the Clinic offered healthcare access for the disenfranchised by providing care to 4,322 individuals through 30,500 Clinic visits with support from 643 volunteers, whose combined service totaled 18,433 hours valued at $537,973.
