A new health clinic in the Dallas neighborhood of Oak Cliff is seeking to fight health disparities affecting neighbors there.
– According to nonprofit health organization HHM Health, in the past year over 60% of Texas families have put off medical care due to cost.
"In the Oak Cliff area, there's about 19% of the population that lives below the poverty line and what that means is they have limitations to accessing health care," said April Meras, a nurse practitioner for HHM Health. Many residents here are uninsured or underinsured or lack adequate transportation. HHM health provides care even if a patient doesn't have insurance.
