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.
