Building a Healthier Future Together
Greater Works Campaign
Help us expand Bethesda Health Clinic to provide more affordable care to East Texans in need.
Thank You. We Did It - Together!
Because of the incredible generosity of our community, Bethesda Health Clinic has officially reached its $25 million Greater Works Campaign goal.
This milestone is about so much more than a building. It represents thousands of lives that will be changed through expanded access to affordable, high-quality healthcare for East Texas families.
Our new 61,000-square-foot health center will allow Bethesda to bring adult and pediatric medical care, dental services, behavioral health, specialty care, and community resources together under one roof. When the new facility opens in 2027, we will immediately increase our capacity to serve approximately 50% more patients, ensuring that more children, families, and individuals receive the compassionate care they deserve.
Coming Spring 2027
Bethesda has found the perfect place to grow - the Hollywood Theater building on the West loop. This new location will become Bethesda's new home, offering 46,602 square feet of space for clinical care.
This larger building will allow us to:
- Unite our pediatric and adult services in one place.
- Expand access to dental and mental health services.
- Provide more specialty care options.
- Host a new Hangers of Hope resale location, which will contribute significantly to fund our new clinic.
This move is more than just a change of address. It's a powerful step toward even greater service and deeper impact in East Texas.

New Hangers of Hope Thrift Store
Hangers of Hope is a vital part of Bethesda Health Clinic's mission to provide affordable healthcare to underserved individuals and families in the community.
Through generous donations of gently used clothing and goods, and the support of the dedicated volunteers and customers, Hangers of Hope helps fund critical healthcare services.
Included with this project is a new Hangers of Hope store, strategically located on the West Loop. We're not just expanding our clinic - we're expanding our ability to sustain it. That's why this store is being launched specifically to help fund the new clinic, with 100% of it's proceeds going toward covering the additional $250,000 in annual operating costs.
