“I joined the Bethesda board because I have a desire to get more involved in my community, invest in a great ministry, and meet new people in the process. I grew up at FBC Tyler and remember helping carry supplies over to Bethesda when it was just a few stalls with curtains in the back of the Tyler Family Assistance Center, so it’s fun to see how the ministry has grown.”

“I love how Bethesda serves people in our community that otherwise would not receive the quality care that they need or deserve and I especially love how they share the gospel of Jesus with each client they see. To hear and see the life-changing testimonies of clients has been so inspiring and quite humbling.”

Wade Barker, D.D.S.

“Since becoming aware of the Bethesda clinic in 2008, I knew immediately that was a special place and how vital the mission of Bethesda is to maintaining East Texans’ health. It has been amazing to watch the clinic grow and change the lives of those in our community who need essential medical and dental services. My favorite part about serving on the Board is the collective excitement and passion that the staff and volunteers have for serving others.”

Baylor Scott & White Texas Spine & Joint Hospital

“Dr. English, Krysti McWha and especially Melissa Briscoe were kind enough to allow me to formulate a strategic plan for Bethesda for my Masters Capstone project. They truly opened the books to me. When comparing my project with my classmate’s projects, I became aware of just how much more these three gave to me than all the other companies profiled. When given a chance to serve, I jumped at the chance to repay their kindness. The fact that Bethesda aligns with my profession and faith is a bonus.”
