About the Medical Clinic
SAMARITAN HEALTH MINISTRIES
For over 25 years, Samaritan Health Ministries has collaborated with volunteers and community partners to serve as a safety net clinic for marginalized communities.
As a Christian non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our service model is built on a combination of paid staff and volunteers to contain costs while ensuring continuity of care. From humble beginnings working out of two file cabinet drawers in the Williamson County Annex one evening a week, we spent the next 17 years operating out of a donated triple wide trailer on church grounds.
In 2021, we moved into a new facility with six exam rooms, four dental operatories and expanded pharmacy space. SHM was originally started as a grassroots organization to address a visible need for healthcare services within the community. Local physicians had taken note of the large number of uninsured patients and gathered a group of volunteers to tackle their healthcare needs. SHM’s model is based on the needs of the uninsured. Often, uninsured patients have untreated chronic diseases that require regular monitoring. Chronic diseases that go unmonitored end with emergency room visits that could have been prevented.
Our eligible patients are uninsured, live in Greater Williamson County, and earn 250% at or below the federal poverty level (FPL). SHM accepts patients regardless of legal status, race or ethnicity, in addition to those who are experiencing homelessness. Established patients have access to all services which include primacy care, mental health, dental care, women’s health (annual exams and breast cancer screening), and medications from our onsite pharmacy. Patients pay based on income and family size. Fees are $12 - $45 per visit. Medications and labs are provided at no additional cost to the patient. SHM has a strong referral network that allows us to obtain these services for patients in the form of in-kind and discounted services from our community partners.
After 20 years of service, Samaritan Health Ministries remains committed to our mission to provide high quality, affordable health and wellness services that support healthy living among uninsured families in Greater Williamson County.
About the Medical Clinic
SAMARITAN HEALTH MINISTRIES
For over 25 years, Samaritan Health Ministries has collaborated with volunteers and community
partners to serve as a safety net clinic for marginalized communities in Greater Williamson County and a portion of neighboring Travis County.
As a Christian non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our service model is built on a combination of paid
staff and volunteers to contain costs while ensuring continuity of care. From humble beginnings
working out of two file cabinet drawers in the Williamson County Annex one evening a week, we
spent the next 17 years operating out of a donated triple-wide trailer on church grounds.
SHM was originally started as a grassroots organization to address a visible need for healthcare
services within the community. Local physicians had taken note of the large number of uninsured
patients and gathered a group of volunteers to tackle their healthcare needs. SHM’s model is built
around those needs — because uninsured patients often have untreated chronic diseases that
require regular monitoring, and chronic diseases that go unmonitored too often end in emergency
room visits that could have been prevented
In 2021, SHM moved into a purpose-built facility in Leander featuring six exam rooms, four dental
operatories, and expanded pharmacy space. Then in May 2025, SHM right-sized its operations by
relocating approximately six miles down the road to its current home at 1900 Cypress Creek Rd.,
Unit 200, Cedar Park, TX 78613 — a move designed to reduce operational costs and increase
capacity to serve patients in need. All health and wellness services continue to be offered at the
new location, including primary care, dental care, pharmacy medications, prescription refills, and
labs.
Today, SHM remains committed to its mission to provide free, high-quality, accessible,
transformational health and wellness services to uninsured individuals and families in Greater
Williamson County and a portion of neighboring Travis County. Our eligible patients are uninsured,
reside in our service area, and earn at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. SHM accepts
patients regardless of immigration status, race, or ethnicity. All healthcare services, medications,
and labs are provided at no cost to patients.
