Announcement!!

Since 2005, the Wise County United Way board has allocated $100,000 out of its reserves to serve as seed money to get a clinic started to serve the uninsured and underinsured in Wise County. United Way of Wise County, Wise Regional and North Texas Area Community Health Center partnered on a 2009-10 health assessment of the county. As a result, NTACHC will supply staff and administration for a clinic for Wise county to be housed at the Wise Regional West Campus (old emergency room) before the end of 2012.

Since 1979, United Way of Wise County Inc., officed in Decatur, Texas, has worked diligently to support local charities providing essential health and human services to Wise County residents. As a registered Texas non-profit corporation, United Way of Wise County conducts annual fund raising campaigns and allocates the proceeds to these local charities on the basis of their need, specific services provided, number of families served and other considerations.
Beginning in 2006, 100% of each dollar donated to the annual fall campaign, has been allocated to these United Way agencies and programs. This makes the United Way one of the most efficient non-profit organizations in the country. When we all work together, we're able to work wonders!
