ABOUT US
WHAT WE DO
Ruth's Place is a 501(c)(3) organization with two locations - our main office and medical facility at 1411 Crawford Avenue and our Outreach Center in Oak Trail Shores, 2723 Maplewood St. At the medical clinic, we have a holistic approach to rural healthcare, offering medical and vision services to low-income uninsured residents of Hood County. Clinic physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses offer services for both children and adults.
​
At the Outreach Center we offer a weekly food pantry in collaboration with Granbury First United Methodist Church and many programs to engage with the OTS community including a literacy program, teen mental health group, and parent cafes.
HOW WE DO IT
Ruth's Place is managed by an Executive Director that reports to a Board of Directors made up of community volunteers. Our paid staff includes the Executive Director, Director of Business Operations, Director of Marketing and Development, receptionist, part-time clinical staff, and the Community Outreach Center staff. Also reporting to the executive director are the volunteers made up of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, interpreters, and clerical employees.
​
Since 2019, the Clinic has developed several healthcare education affiliations augment medical coverage for patients during the week and provide valuable clinical experience for future healthcare providers. In addition, strong partnerships with other organizations allow Ruth's Place to provide FREE screenings.
​
Operational funds for both locations are 100% donated by local foundations, churches, businesses, and individuals. We rely on YOU, our community and donors, to provide these much needed services to our Hood County residents.
