Neighbors Together: Jim and David

I've written about Dr. Jim Walton a few times on this blog. I've written about his work at Roseland Homes, a public housing community where Central Dallas Ministries has maintained a constant presence for more than a decade.

I've written about his leadership as one of the architects of the partnership Central Dallas Ministries enjoys with Baylor and with Health Texas Provider Network, the physicians' group supporting the Baylor system.

I've shared his own writing with you, and the good news that he was named the Chief Health Equity Officer for the Baylor Health Care System.

I've also shared with you how Dr. Walton even makes routine, weekly house calls... but today I want to invite you to attend one of those calls with me.

This site, http://www.neighborstogethercdm.com/, currently features a film about Dr. Walton and one of his patients, David.

Like many immigrant families, David's family lacks insurance. When David was struck with an intense form of meningitis that left him in a coma for months on end, his family's finances were pushed to the limit.

Thanks to Dr. Walton's work with Central Dallas Ministries, I am proud to say that David continued to receive the care that he needed to not only survive, but to begin to thrive again.
