From Staff reports
Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano President Jerri Garison recently presented a representative of the Collin County Adult Clinic with a $5,000 donation to help support the medical needs of the underserved population in the Plano area. On hand to receive the donation on behalf of the Collin County Adult Clinic was John Ernst, executive director, Collin County Adult Clinic.
For the past nine years, Collin County Adult Clinic has served the indigent and uninsured adult residents of Collin County with primary medical care. Since 2005, the clinic has operated as a 501 (c)(3) corporation to help ensure the funds provided to the clinic treat the most people possible.
The clinic provides on average $285 hard-dollar value per patient visit. Because the clinic’s business model is based upon 100 percent volunteer support, the cash cost to provide this $285 is only $65.

Services at the not-for-profit, fully accredited facility include treatment for advanced spine deformities at the Baylor Scoliosis Center, neurosciences, orthopedics, medical and radiation oncology, surgical weight loss, women’s services, gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, sleep disorders, pain management, diabetes management and more.
