Clinic History
In August, 1986, Mission Arlington began by offering Bible Studies in low-income multi-housing communities. It was evident that they’re needs went beyond spiritual. The Dr. Bob Mann Medical Clinic opened in response to this need.
Up until 2001, the clinic operated 6 hours per week. In September 2001, we were able to hire a Nurse Practitioner to direct the clinic full-time. This leadership position has improved the clinic’s efficiency and ability to provide quality health care. The clinic is now open twenty hours per week on average and sees over 140 low-income and homeless children and adults weekly.
The clinic is a collaboration of medical doctors, nurses, churches, pharmacies, drug supply companies, retired medical professionals and other interested volunteers. The Executive Director of Mission Metroplex, the Board of Directors, the Mission Metroplex Medical Advisory Committee, and the Dr. Bob Mann Medical Clinic Director oversee the program.
The Dr. Bob Mann Medical clinic is one of the few alternatives for many Arlington area residents who cannot afford insurance or proper medical care.
Volunteer
Currently, we are experiencing a growth in the number of people who need medical services. Most pressing is the immediate need for volunteer doctors to expand the resources of the clinic and meet the needs of the increasing number of patients.We need doctors and nurses from every field to assist us in serving the medical needs of the underserved population. The Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex Medical Clinic provides quality health care and medical education to promote health.
The Clinic also assists patients in accessing available health care programs in the community. Hours open are from 9:00 a.m. to Noon M-W-F, and Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. For more information, contact Andrea Wilson, FNP, Medical Director or Jean M.
