Community Outreach
Health education and services delivered where Dallas County needs them most — from the Aldredge House Museum to neighborhood schools and clinics.
Our Approach
A Home Base for Health Education and Services
The Aldredge House Museum is the Alliance's home — a base from which we provide Dallas with health education and services. Programs and areas of interest change with the requests we receive for time, services, and resources.
In recent years, partnering with other reputable programs — and providing resources and experienced volunteers, including physicians — has been an effective way to maximize impact. These programs are usually presented in the neighborhoods they serve.
Bayles Elementary School Project
This school is a wonderful match for DCMSAF sponsorship. The Medical Alliance has a history of being the first of the medical alliances in the nation; Bayles Elementary is considered the first school in the Dallas Settlement, founded around 1856 by W.C. Hunnicutt.
Today the school serves pre-K through 5th grade, is almost entirely minority, and over 40% of students have limited English proficiency. In its inaugural year, with COVID-19 limiting in-person volunteering, the Foundation fully funded outstanding virtual tours for students — from natural history museums to shark training and astronaut experiences.
Across Dallas County
Community Outreach
Beyond our sponsored projects, Alliance members — doctors and lay volunteers alike — support outreach around the community.
