Matagorda Episcopal Health Outreach Program
MEHOP’s mission is to improve our client’s healthcare
by providing quality medical and dental care to people in our
communities regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, or
ability to pay. MEHOP began in 1998 to provide healthcare to the
underserved of rural Matagorda County with a mobile medical unit.
Today, MEHOP has an established medical clinic and in March 2009
was awarded a FQHC grant with the availability of funds from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. A second building, which
houses the dental clinic has been renovated and will restart July
2009. Matagorda County is a medically underserved area, with a
dental and health professional shortage area. Over 27% of the
county is without health insurance. Residents living below poverty
is over 21%. The estimated population of possible underserved/uninsured
is over 10,000 in our county. MEHOP is the only FQHC and is the
only clinic offering a sliding fee scale for health and dental
care.
