Expanding Healthcare Access Through Community Outreach

At JPS, we don’t just provide care—we connect, educate, and empower our community. Through partnerships, events, and programs, our Community Outreach team strengthens health and well-being across Tarrant County!

Our outreach efforts go beyond traditional healthcare, focusing on collaboration, education, and engagement to empower our community. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

• Building strong partnerships to expand resources and improve access to care
• Engaging with the community through events and speaking opportunities
• Launching impactful programs tailored to local needs
• Educating and empowering residents with health information and resources

Together, we’re creating a healthier, stronger Tarrant County—one connection at a time! Stay tuned for more stories of how JPS is making a difference where it matters most.

JPS Community Health Workers (CHWs) support people in the community by helping them find the care and resources they need. They are trusted helpers who connect patients and families to important services, like food, housing, and healthcare programs. CHWs also teach people about staying healthy, eating well, and taking care of themselves. By working with doctors, nurses, and community groups, they make it easier for people to get care and live healthier lives. Their work doesn’t just help one person—it makes the whole community stronger and healthier in Tarrant County.

Master Facility Plan Update: A New Era in Behavioral Health Care coming soon

As part of our ongoing Master Facility Plan, the new Psychiatric Emergency Center (PEC) is nearing completion and is slated to open this summer. Designed with healing, safety, and comfort in mind, the PEC will provide a calming environment for patients in crisis. The space incorporates soft, natural tones, open layouts, and soothing lighting to reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. Every design element—from the curved ceilings to the thoughtfully arranged patient areas—has been intentionally crafted to foster a secure, therapeutic atmosphere.

This milestone represents JPS Health Network’s commitment to advancing behavioral health care and ensuring that Tarrant County residents have access to compassionate, high-quality emergency psychiatric services. Learn more at www.YestoJPS.org.

We’re bringing healthcare, resources, and support directly to the LVT Rise Community Center! Each week, JPS team members will be on-site, offering valuable information and services. Plus, our Behavioral Health team will host weekly sessions on mental health and well-being. See below for more information.  

JPS Health Network, in collaboration with Tarrant Area Food Bank, is expanding the RED Bus service to reach even more patients and families in need.
