Comprehensive Campaign - We did it, with YOUR help…
The Partners comprehensive campaign has been transitioning to an ongoing effort to provide major philanthropic gifts for important JPS initiatives. This campaign has profoundly changed JPS Health Network and the community we serve. With your support and nearly $11 million raised, JPS opened a state-of-the-art facility, our Patient Care Pavilion, in addition to funding important programs like the school-based initiative and our co-pay assistance program. We are thankful for our friends, old and new, who have meant so much to this effort. Click for a list of campaign donors.

Indigent Eye Care
Only three centers in Tarrant County promote their services for treating underinsured and uninsured eye care patients, JPS being one of the primary providers. Last year, more than 17,000 procedures were done in the JPS eye clinic with an average 120 patients daily. This is all done in a 1,400 square- foot office that has to accommodate waiting room, procedure room and examination room space. Staff consistently seeks ways to improve efficiency but physical clinic expansion is required to meet the ever growing needs. Additionally, outreach programs and initiatives are an important component to ensuring that eye care is available to everyone in Tarrant County. A gift to the indigent eye care program will support all of the initiatives designed to expand this program in the coming years.
