Tomagwa Healthcare Ministries

For 33 years Tomagwa has proven itself to be an exemplary model of Healthcare to community members with limited resources by offering award winning primary care, dental, vision, lab, pharmacy, diagnostics, and case management services, while also extending outreach services to our entire community via immunization and school based dental clinics regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, religion, or ability to pay.tomagwa is also a teaching facility for future Healthcare professionals, a site for cancer research and prevention and an award winning immunization, hypertension, and diabetic control center recognized by the state of Texas, american heart association, americares and omada. Serving 18 zip codes across three counties, alongside our partners, Tomagwa is able to treat needs ranging from primary care to some of the most complex health diagnosis requiring an integrated medical home.as a charitable clinic, Tomagwa does not bill insurance companies and relies primarily on individual donors, local foundations, and other local not-for-profit organizations to fulfill its mission. Because Tomagwa services patients at 200% or below the federal poverty level who pay a nominal fee for services, therefore its funding gap for patient services is usually covered by our partners.tomagwa brings with it a vast network of volunteer Healthcare providers, educational institutions, health systems, community-based organizations, and the support of local and national public servants. This sets Tomagwa apart considering its large service area with limited primary care services. Tomagwa truly provides a health home to its patients: a patient can have his/her blood checked, have an fit test, schedule a mammogram, have labs drawn, fill prescriptions and more in only one appointment. Nearly half of all services are provided byvolunteers.this unique model also allows Tomagwa to provide high-quality Healthcare for a low cost. As a result, at Tomagwa, approximately $1,000 provides a year of comprehensive care services for each served patient. This is markedly less than the u.s. average, as Healthcare spending amounted to approximately $12,000 per individual in the u.s. In 2020.
