By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report November 9, 2021 North Texas Area Community Health Centers opened its new eye care center, the Northside Eye Care Center, 2332 Beverly Hills Dr., on Nov. 8, in hopes of offering vision services to residents. "As a medical practice, we strive to provide a full range of services and to look at not just the individual, but the family and the community they come from," North Texas Area Community Health Centers CEO Gerrie Whitaker said. "It is not about the number of people, it's about being a part of your community." By opening affordable and accessible health care facilities close to each other, in this case one floor apart, the organization hopes to create a healthier community, she added. The North Texas Area Community Health Center's North Side facility offers pharmaceutical, adult, pediatric, behavioral and women's health services. "This clinic is really unique because it really creates this medical home for our patients where they're able to receive most of or all of their vital health care in a single facility," Dr. Mary Kate Sain, an optometrist and the clinic director at Northside Eye Care Center, said.
