Part IV – Narrative Description of Activities

The Body of Christ Community Clinic (BOCCC) will provide personalized, quality health
services to the medically underserved of the greater Belton, Texas area. The Clinic will
serve adults and children of all ages who have no health insurance or inadequate health
insurance (such as catastrophic high deductible not assisting with clinical care) and
whose income is at or below 185 percent of Federal Poverty Level, and will not provide
services to persons who are currently on Medicaid, Medicare or other government
health programs. The Clinic will rent space from a local non-profit, Helping Hands. At
this time, volunteers are renovating the space to accommodate the medical clinic.
Opening date is expected to be in January 2010.

The BOCCC will have three components:

• Medical care – acute and chronic. In additional to medical exams, this will
include various tests such as strep and pregnancy; referrals for X-rays and
diagnostic testing; and medical referrals for patients needing care in specialty
areas.
• Dental care – cleaning, extractions and sealants. The Clinic will have two dental
rooms.
• Social services – assistance in applying for government programs;
pharmaceutical assistance programs; referrals to appropriate programs.

Patients will provide documentation of their income and residency. The Clinic will
accept patients who meet the above criteria without discrimination as to race, color,
religion or national origin. Proof of citizenship is not required. Persons seeking
treatment who do not meet required criteria will be referred to other medical programs.

The BOCCC will be staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses, other medical personnel, and
non-medical community volunteers from Belton and surrounding communities. A paid
part-time (25 hours per week) Executive Director will oversee day to day operations and
work with the Board of Directors and the volunteer “Counsel of Servant Leaders”
composed of health care, administrative, social work, fund raising and volunteer
coordination teams. Initially, the Clinic will be open one evening a week with operating
hours anticipated to expand in the second year of operation.

Partner churches will commit a certain percentage of their offerings and volunteers to
support the BOCC. These churches will be represented on the governing Board of
Community Representatives which is projected to have its first board meeting in
October 2009. In addition, funding will come from individuals, businesses,
organizations and churches. Foundation grants may also be solicited as the Clinic
grows. Patient donations will be accepted but not required to receive services.
