Did you know that Cornerstone Assistance Network has the nation's first free cataract facility for the uninsured? Tarrant County is fortunate to have a network of free and charitable clinics across the metroplex -- thanks to Cornerstone for being one of them!

A photo from our most recent Cataract Procedure this month! Our amazing team includes volunteers who generously give their time and talents.

This day, they completed 10 procedures, giving hope for patients with loss of vision and no ability to pay for sight-restoring procedures!

On April 25, Project Access cohosted "Financial Confidence Starts Here" along with Water From The Rock, HREBA Housing Counseling, and Grace Lutheran Church Arlington, TX.

PATC includes financial education as a social driver of health. Did you know that over a third of American families have medical debt*? While medical debt isn't always preventable, having a solid financial plan is a great start to avoiding it!

Thanks to everyone who attended and to the partners who made this possible!

This event was sponsored by the North Texas Community Foundation as part of a BEACON grant.
