Woven Health Clinic began as a grassroots effort to address a critical gap in healthcare access for under-resourced individuals. Founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1993 as On Eagles Wings, the Clinic was established by Webb Chapel United Methodist Church and Chapel Hill United Methodist Church, who recognized an urgent need for compassionate, affordable healthcare in the community. The Clinic initially operated one evening per week and some weekends, staffed entirely by dedicated medical volunteers.

In 1995, the Metrocrest Hospital Authority helped the Clinic secure a rent-free space at Dallas Medical Center, a pivotal step that allowed the Clinic to grow its reach. A decade later, in 2003, the Clinic joined the Dallas County Medical Society’s Project Access, which provided critical funding to support the transition from an all-volunteer model to one with a small paid staff, including a nurse, a family practice physician, and medical assistants. That same year, the Clinic changed its name to Metrocrest Family Medical Clinic and expanded its services through volunteer specialists in dermatology, gynecology, and neurology.

By 2011, the Clinic had broadened its funding base to include support from the Cities of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, and Coppell, as well as additional resources from HCA. With this support, the Clinic transitioned to a full-time operation with a full-time internal medicine physician. Reflecting this expanded mission, the name was changed to Metrocrest Community Clinic and primary care became the core focus.

In 2016, the Clinic received new grants from Metrocrest Hospital Authority, Dallas Women’s Foundation, and the American Heart Association, allowing it to enhance chronic disease management, prevention programs, and women’s health services. A registered dietitian and behavioral health specialist were added to the team, and a formal partnership was established with UT Southwestern Medical Center to provide integrated behavioral and mental health care.

Building on this momentum, in 2017 the Clinic deepened its commitment to whole-person care by becoming a recognized Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). A part-time nurse practitioner and gynecologist were brought on board. These efforts reflected a broader vision: to weave together physical, mental, and preventive healthcare as essential threads in the wellbeing of the community. This vision inspired a new name—Woven Health Clinic—symbolizing the interwoven relationship between health and community.

In February 2021, Woven Health Clinic expanded its physical presence through a partnership with the City of Carrollton, opening a second clinic location at Carrollton Medical Center. Initially launched to provide COVID-related services, the Carrollton clinic quickly evolved into a full-time primary care site to meet the growing need for accessible, affordable healthcare in the region.

Today, Woven Health Clinic continues to honor its founding mission by providing high-quality, affordable healthcare through a whole-person approach. With a focus on chronic disease prevention, mental health, women’s health, and equitable access to care, Woven Health remains a vital, trusted resource woven into the fabric of the communities it serves.

To provide affordable, quality, patient-centric healthcare focused on wellness and preventing disease to those uninsured or underinsured.
