Martha’s Story

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.
