The Arthur Nagel Community Clinic will expand its no-cost health care services to underserved rural communities including Kendall County starting Jan. 6, officials announced.
According to the Bandera-based clinic, the expansion follows strategic planning discussions last spring, when the directors identified gaps in access to nonprofit care across rural regions.
Planners noted the Nagel Clinic is geographically closer and more accessible than other nonprofit providers located in county seats.
In addition to Kendall County, the new service areas include communities in Medina, Uvalde, Real and Kerr counties, where residents often face long drives for medical care.
For example, Camp Verde and Comfort in Kerr and Kendall County can be more efficiently served by the clinic, planners said.
“This thoughtful expansion reflects our mission — to provide no-cost, compassionate health care to those in need, wherever the need is greatest and most accessible,” said board President Mike Mulherin.

According to its website, the clinic was created in Bandera in 2008 by Hill Country businessman Arthur W. Nagel and other “community-minded friends.”
Added the site, the clinic “is the only 501(c)(3), nonprofit service provider of low-cost primary and preventive health care for low-income, medically underserved Bandera County residents ages 12 and older.”
