Introduced in 2006, Bethesda’s Healthy Living Program was created to meet a need for monitored and ongoing diabetes care for uninsured diabetic patients. It provides disease monitoring, medication assistance, glucometer testing and monitoring, and education, and features scheduled doctor visits and individualized monitoring between visits to ensure that patients are following treatment recommendations. If complications arise, patients are referred to local volunteer specialists.
The program also addresses obesity as a cause of diabetes. With grants from the Junior League of Tyler, The Women’s Fund at East Texas Communities Foundation, and the American Medical Association Bethesda was able to launch “Eat Better to Live Better, a comprehensive wellness/nutrition program. Topics in the program include principles of a healthy diet, food safety, serving sizes, and the facts about fat and sodium.
Participants entering the program are weighed, their BMI is calculated, and their blood pressure is taken. Those who complete the series but want to keep learning are invited to attend a monthly nutrition support group held at the clinic.
The East Texas Extension Agency and East Texas Food Bank have played a key role in the implementation of this class series. Specifically, the lesson plan as well as many of the volunteers engaged in teaching and assisting the classes have come directly from the agency.
Additional nutrition classes have been offered through a partnership between a local elementary school and the Tyler Independent School District program for parents interested in learning healthier ways to feed their families. Bethesda has also partnered with St. Paul Children’s Foundation to pilot a nutrition and exercise program for students who are overweight or at risk for becoming overweight.

Bethesda Health Clinic is a Christ-centered ministry with a bold mission: To provide affordable, high-quality care for the working uninsured and others we are able to serve.
Before Bethesda, those in need had to go to a local hospital's emergency room for medical care. Our state-of-the-art facility eases the burden on local ERs while serving a neglected segment of our population in a professional and dignified environment.
In serving patients in the way we do, we seek to achieve numerous goals:
Patients will have ready access to necessary medical and dental care that is not limited by their financial means.Patients will feel an increased sense of control over their own health.Patients will experience an improved family life owing to the fact that their medical and dental care is no longer creating financial stress or time pressure for them.Smith County will have a healthier, more productive workforce, as employees take less time off work because of illness, dental pain or time spent waiting for care in a hospital ER.Area hospitals will not be called on to provide as much charity care, particularly for routine medical care that is easily provided within the clinic setting.
