Free clinic seeks $306,000 from MCDC to expand imaging and services for uninsured
Summary
Common Good Medical requested $306,000 to renovate a 9,000 sq ft building into an expanded clinic offering in‑house imaging (x‑ray, mammography, ultrasound) and to improve accessibility; the board closed the public hearing and did not vote at this meeting.
Dr. Steven Twyman, founder and CEO of Common Good Medical, presented the organization's request to transform a 9,000‑square‑foot building into an expanded medical home for uninsured residents. Twyman said the project will be completed in phases and the revised request is $306,000 after removing items judged ineligible; he said the expanded facility will include in‑house imaging and create several paid positions and volunteer opportunities.
Twyman emphasized local need, saying, “There are over 16,000 people in McKinney without health insurance,” and told the board the clinic expects the imaging capacity to improve cancer screening access and create sustainable revenue streams for the nonprofit. The board held public comment and closed the hearing; no funding vote was taken at the meeting.
