Whole-Person

Care

Whole-person care is a transformative approach to health that proactively addresses all aspects of a person’s wellbeing. At JFS Dallas, we know that physical, emotional, financial, and nutritional health are closely related and that challenges in one area of life don’t exist in isolation. That’s why JFS Dallas provides compassionate care and support across every area of life. Our dedicated professionals provide medical services, counseling, financial coaching, and nutrition assistance. We respond to our community’s needs, meet people where they are, and help them build stronger, more stable futures.

Last year, we welcomed more than 22,000 individuals through our doors to receive this vital care.

Physical Health Services

The JFS Northpoint Health Center offers primary care for the whole family and accepts most insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. For those without insurance, we offer affordable, income-based discounts so that cost is never a barrier to quality care.

We’re preparing to open a second medical clinic in our new home, the Karla & Larry Steinberg Building (Spring 2026), with plans to expand into dental services. With your help, we can reach even more patients with the care they need, close to home, and all in one place.

95% of DFW residents who could benefit from a Community Health Center currently lack access to one.

$35 The lowest price available for low-income patients. Most clinics in North Texas would charge between $100 and $200 per visit.

Nutritional Health Services

Access to nutritious food is essential to the health and well-being of the families we serve.

We aim to make this possible through programs like our client-choice Food Pantry, where families select the groceries that work best for them, and our Kosher HomeDelivered Meals program, which delivers ready-to-heat meals to older adults who can’t shop or cook on their own.

When you give to JFS Dallas, you help ensure no one in our community has to choose between food and other basic needs. You’re providing nourishment, dignity, and care.

14,440 Kosher meals were delivered to homebound older adults last year.

10,506 individuals turned to the JFS Food Pantry for fresh groceries, available every month for $0 for as long as they need.

Financial Health Services

Financial health means more than just getting by it’s about self-sufficiency, stability, and the freedom to plan for the future and feel in control of life.

Through services like Career & Financial Coaching, ESL classes, and the emergency response fund, we help individuals find stable employment, manage their debt, and afford the essentials they need to thrive. Your support makes these life-changing services available at little to no cost—opening doors for thousands of families working toward a better future.

368 individuals received one-on-one career or financial coaching last year.

78% of Career Coaching clients reported securing full-time or part-time jobs.
