Bethesda Alliance
Supporting and promoting Bethesda Health Clinic
Mission of the Bethesda Alliance
The purpose of the Bethesda Alliance is to support and promote the Bethesda Health Clinic of Tyler, Texas by functioning as a fundraising and volunteer service group.
Special Contributions and Service Opportunities
Since 2008 the Bethesda Alliance has been providing services that assist the critical work of the clinic. Today, more than 160 members donate their time to the clinic and spread the word about this important cause.
