Community Health Projects
Helping make our communities healthier for everyone.
The TCMS Alliance has a long history of serving our community through health related education, fundraising and service. Whether we are serving alongside one another or other community leaders, raising money, collecting needed clothing and supplies or raising awareness, there is a place for you to serve through the Alliance. Our community health projects have changed over the years, but we have been and always will be dedicated to helping make quality healthcare available to all of our neighbors and educating our community on living healthy.
For more than 20 years, Alliance members have supported efforts to provide equity in healthcare through immunizing children, teens and adults in Tarrant County who are without a medical home and health insurance through our partnerships with the Immunization Collaboration of Tarrant County and the TMA education programs of Be Wise Immunize and now Vaccines Defend What Matter. When Covid-19 vaccines first became available in our community, Alliance Members joined first responders to provide ad hoc clinics to immunize our community against the Covid-19 virus.
Serve together with other Alliance members in our many public health projects or serve within the Alliance.

 | Vaccines Defend What Matters Vaccines Defend What Matters is a joint initiative with medical alliances across the state. The TCMS Alliance Foundation provides funding to support free and low cost vaccination clinics each August and year round immunization education to families in Tarrant County who cannot afford them. This work is facilitated through the Immunization Collaboration of Tarrant County where our members serve on the board. Alliance members volunteer at the events helping families with check-in and to complete their paperwork. Watch the E-News and our social media for Volunteer Sign Ups starting in July for the August events. Older children and teens are encouraged to help as well. There are weekday and weekend time slots. If you don't see a time that works for you, please reach out and let us know what time and day you're available as the volunteer times are flexible. Each year, the Alliance donates $15,000 - $20,000 to provide the immunization clinics, shots and education. To help with the education or immunization events, contact Kelly Parsley.
