Bethesda Health Clinic

Just months after launching their food truck business, Cristian and Yesenia Mendoza faced a devastating setback when a bucket of 350-degree fryer oil spilled onto Cristian’s leg, causing severe second- and third-degree burns.

After an emergency room visit, infection began to set in, and the couple struggled to find affordable follow-up care without insurance. That’s when they were referred to Bethesda.

Because of your generosity, Cristian received the wound care, medication, supplies, and support he needed to heal. Bethesda’s team not only cared for his injuries but also equipped Yesenia to help manage his recovery at home.

Today, Cristian is well and healed and has continued working at the food truck he and his wife worked so hard to build.

“Bethesda helped us in every way—emotionally, financially, and spiritually,” Yesenia shared. “They gave us hope when we didn’t know what to do.”

Your support provided more than medical care. It gave the Mendoza family hope, healing, and a path forward.

When Martha moved to East Texas, she was living with rheumatoid arthritis — a painful chronic disease that can leave her unable to move for days without proper medication and care.

After being referred to Bethesda, Martha found more than arthritis treatment. She received whole-person care, regular checkups, specialist referrals, medication management, and support for her overall health.

Because of your generosity, Martha’s disease is controlled, her care is consistent, and she can keep living with strength and dignity. She now travels to Bethesda with family members, grateful to have found a place that cares for more than just her illness.

“I have yet to find another place that cares so much about your overall wellbeing,” Martha shared.

Your support gives patients like Martha access to the care they need before a crisis becomes their only option.
