Our Impact in 2023
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 ER’s while serving a neglected segment of our population in a professional and dignified environment.

Meet our Dedicated Volunteers
Learn about some of the amazing individuals who generously volunteer their time and talents to support Bethesda Health Clinic:
Meet Ann
A compassionate volunteer offering support and prayer.
Ann Boland began volunteering in admissions in the summer of 2021. Not only does she meet with potential patients to determine if they qualify for our services, but offers prayer to ease their suffering. Ann says it’s a real blessing to work with people and touch them through prayer and gospel.
“I see this as my ministry that I can use to glorify God.”
Meet Gina
A dedicated member of the Bethesda Alliance who contributes to fundraising efforts.
Gina Butler is a member of the Bethesda Alliance and has been volunteering at the clinic since 2012. Gina’s creativity and passion for Bethesda contributes to huge success at the clinic’s biggest annual fundraiser, the Birthday Bash.
“I believe that the Lord is in this clinic because of the way people have responded. The people of our community have given above and beyond what we ever imagined and I believe it’s because God is using this clinic and I love being a part of it. When Jesus ministered to people he always met their physical needs first and THEN he talked to them about their spiritual needs. That’s why the clinic is so successful. God is at the center and I appreciate Dr. English for making that happen.”
Meet Gerry
A volunteer physician assistant specializing in diabetes care.
Gerry Brown is a volunteer physician assistant who specializes in diabetes care and other chronic illnesses. Diabetes is very prevalent among Bethesda’s patients, and many of them did not receive adequate treatment prior to coming to the clinic. Gerry not only treats symptoms of diabetes and other comorbidities, but encourages patients to make lifestyle changes that are necessary to controlling the disease.
“I enjoy volunteering, giving a little bit back to the community, and helping to take care of folks in need that don’t have good access to healthcare.”
Meet Dave
A career shift that ignited a powerful journey of faith and patient support through prayer.
David Beck, a former physician’s assistant at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, sought to give back by volunteering in healthcare. Initially unsure of his fit at Bethesda Health Clinic, he found purpose in aiding with financial screening. Through volunteering, he rediscovered his faith and was baptized. Encouraged by fellow volunteer Don Wheeler, he joined a church community group, which transformed his life. Now, David embraces his role in prayer and discipleship at Bethesda, where he and his wife volunteer together. Guided by faith, David remains dedicated to his ministry at Bethesda.
“I love this place because this is a place to practice discipleship,” David said. “Everyone has their spiritual gifts, and I believe mine is prayer. One thing I do with our patients is pray with them… people don’t get enough prayer. Our patients, most of them, have been told what to do their whole lives, and a lot of them leave in tears when we pray with them.”
