Bullhook Clinic History - Read more!
Bullhook Health Center originated in September 2005 as a section of the Hill County Health Department, funded by a federal Healthy Communities Access Planning Grant. This grant allowed the Health Department’s Bullhook Clinic to offer medical andcare management services to the community with a sliding fee scale. Patients were able to access coordinated and holistic care with other providers in the community.
 
On July 1, 2007, a federal Community Health Center Grant was awarded to the board of directors for the new organization called the Bullhook Community Health Center, Inc.


Our Mission Statement
The Bullhook Community Health Center provides healthcare services that help reduce the financial burden placed on the community when uninsured and underinsured residents cannot get needed healthcare or cannot pay for the healthcare they do get.

Bullhook Clinic offers healthcare and related services for uninsured and underinsured who may not have had these options before, and this reduces the economic stress on the patients, the local medical facilities, and the community.

The clinic’s care managers also help people find, and sometimes help them pay for  care from another local healthcare provider who better suits the patient’s needs. Bullhook Community health center strives to keep people from “falling between the cracks” in healthcare.

 
 
Community Health Centers
Community Health Centers are required to serve all residents of their service area with charges on a sliding fee scale based upon ability to pay.

CHCs provide comprehensive health care – this includes primary health care and preventive care for infants, children & adults; some urgent care; mental health/substance abuse; dental; and pharmaceutical services.

CHCs must be either a public or non-profit facility that is governed by a Board of Directors. At least 51% of the CHC's Board of Directors must be composed of members who are patients at the center. This means that the community has a voice in the services offered, helps to assure quality of care, and determines the future of the Bullhook Community Health Center.
