NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY - Sept. 19th, 2024

2024 WOMEN'S DAY OF CARING  May 16, 2024

This year's North Texas Giving Day donations will serve an important purpose by helping us expand our health and counseling services to more patients. We're pleased to report that this year, along with our generous past supporters, we welcomed several new donors. Our thanks and blessings to all our Giving Day donors and those who support better health in our community throughout the year.

2024 WOMEN'S DAY OF CARING  May 16, 2024

Thank you, medical providers, admins, nurses, patient assistants, interpreters, and everyone in between for making OAHC's 12th Annual Women’s Day of Caring possible! OAHC volunteers conducted 43 free Pap Smears and clinical breast exams in-clinic while our partners at Moncrief Cancer Institute UT Southwestern completed 23 free mammograms outside in their mobile unit. A huge thank you to ProPath for processing our Pap Smears for our patients in need. Next year will be even better!

2024 HEART AND SOUL FUNDRAISING GALA  March 2, 2024

This year's gala was one for the history books. A lively crowd, a delicious meal, moving volunteer speeches and lucrative auctions and raffles all led to a fiery finish! Emcee John Rhadigan and Auctioneer Dean McCurry fired up guests to ‘raise the paddles.’ And in just minutes, donations topped over $10,000 – enough by itself to pay off the balance on our building’s mortgage! Our thanks to the many volunteers and donors who made this night possible. SPONSOR LIST
