When Care Goes Beyond the Exam Room – Integrated Behavior Health at People’s

Sometimes the hardest part of getting help is not knowing where to turn.

For many patients at People’s Community Clinic, daily life comes with real challenges, such as making ends meet, living in unsafe or unstable housing, navigating language barriers, managing chronic illness, or becoming a parent without a support system. Others face depression, anxiety, or additional mental health concerns that can quietly, but powerfully, affect their overall health.

These challenges are more common than many realize, and they take a serious toll on both physical and mental well-being. To meet the need, People’s Community Clinic offers Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH): care designed to support the whole person, not just the physical symptoms.

A Growing Need, a Coordinated Response

Last year alone, People’s Community Clinic provided care to more than 21,000 Central Texans. Nearly 6,000 of those visits were related to behavioral health. These numbers are a clear signal that mental health care is not a side service, but an essential part of community health.

Last year alone, People’s Community Clinic provided care to more than 21,000 Central Texans. Nearly 6,000 of those visits were related to behavioral health.

At People’s, mental health care is not siloed or treated as an afterthought. Instead, care teams and case managers work together to address the patient’s mental and physical health simultaneously. This coordinated approach leads to better outcomes, stronger relationships, and care that meets patients where they are.

Why Your Support Matters

Programs like Integrated Behavioral Health exist because of community support. Over the past year, funding uncertainty and system-wide changes have created real challenges, even as demand for services continues to grow.

Your support ensures People’s Community Clinic integrates behavioral health with primary care, helping patients thrive.

Thank you for believing in care that goes beyond the exam room.

Thank You, Xi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma 📚💙

People’s Community Clinic recognizes the Xi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma for their generosity in donating more than 400 children’s books to the clinic’s Reach Out and Read™ program.

Xi Chapter’s gift will put books directly into the hands of young patients across Central Texas, turning routine checkups into moments that spark curiosity, imagination, and a lifelong love of reading.

Why Reach Out and Read™ Matters

Reach Out and Read™ is a nationally recognized program that integrates early literacy with pediatric care. During well-child visits, medical providers give age-appropriate books to children and encourage caregivers to read aloud at home.

Research shows that this simple act supports:

  • Early brain development
  • Language and literacy skills
  • Stronger caregiver-child bonds
  • Better readiness for school

At People’s Community Clinic, Reach Out and Read™ ensures that children not only have health care but are also given tools to thrive.

How You Can Help

Inspired by the Xi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma? People’s welcomes the donation of new or gently used children’s books at any time. Every book donated helps create brighter, healthier futures, one story at a time. Please contact Celina at Celina.Nance@austinpcc.org to donate books.

At a time when healthcare costs are rising, and Medicaid funding is under constant threat, too many Central Texans are forced to put their health last

— Richard Yuen, PHD, People's Board Member

“At a time when healthcare costs are rising, and Medicaid funding is under constant threat, too many Central Texans are forced to put their health last.”

As a psychologist, Richard is especially drawn to People’s whole-person model, one that integrates medical, mental health, and dental care in a single, trusted setting. His support helps sustain this holistic approach, ensuring patients receive the care they need without barriers.

“People’s is more than a clinic,” Richard shared. “It’s a health care home base.”

That commitment to caring for the whole person is why Richard continues to champion People’s Community Clinic and why his leadership inspires others to support the clinic’s vital work across Central Texas.

A Letter from People’s CEO this Holiday Season

As 2025 comes to a close, I reflect on a year that has tested our community’s resilience. In a challenging economy, families wonder how they will pay for medication, where their next meal will come from, and what will happen when their child gets sick. This season of giving is an opportunity to show up for our neighbors and reminds us how strong we are when we come together.


Most of the Central Texans we serve live 200% below federal poverty guidelines, and many have no insurance at all.

Patients like Sandra*, a 67-year-old woman living with a physical disability and uncontrolled diabetes, remind us why this work matters. Sandra struggled to afford basic needs.

When she learned she might lose her Social Security Disability benefits due to an error, she was terrified. Without that benefit, she would have been with just a small housing allowance of $300 a month.
“

This year, People’s served over 21,000 patients. In 2026, with your help, we will reach even more neighbors in need.

— Matt Balthazar, CEO


That’s when People’s on-site Medical-Legal Partnership attorney successfully stepped in to protect her benefits. No longer faced with overwhelming loss, Sandra could now focus on managing her diabetes. The relief she felt was priceless, and her quality of life improved dramatically.

Your support makes stories like Sandra’s possible. This year, People’s served over 21,000 patients. In 2026, with your help, we will reach even more neighbors in need.

But we can’t do this work alone.  Throughout this season of giving, a gift of any amount will go a long way in supporting those who need health care. If you can give by December 31, you can DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT, because every dollar up to $25,000 will be generously matched by a local foundation.


Thank you for your support. Best wishes for a peaceful holiday season.
