Ayfa Foundation Seeks Donations To Help Texas Clinics After Storm

Press release from The Afya Foundation of America:

March 16, 2021

Texas Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), healthcare facilities that serve vulnerable and low-resource populations, are in desperate need following the catastrophic winter storms of February 2021. In addition to these hardships, some suppliers are suspending their service to smaller healthcare providers.

The Texas Association of Community Health Centers told Afya that facilities serving the poorest and most vulnerable communities have experienced structural damage due to flooding and burst pipes as well as consistent lack of resources and supplies that keep them from providing necessary healthcare services.

Supporting FQHCs on their storm recovery journey is imperative to preserving the health of hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Afya is mobilizing to deliver PPE, masks, gloves, and durable medical equipment to multiple networks of FQHCs in Texas, including Brownsville Community Health Center, Healthcare for the Homeless in Houston, Tyler Family Circle of Care, CommuniCare Health Centers in San Antonio and many more. Read more about the recovery effort on this blog post.

Donate today to help us deliver multiple truck loads of necessary medical supplies and equipment to these vital Texas FQHCs.
