Carevide has been serving North Texas communities for over 47 years and provides primary healthcare, dental care, women's health, school-based healthcare, and behavioral health services.

Today, Carevide serves over 28,000 patients through nine medical, specialty, and school-based sites. All Carevide family medical sites are recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by The National Committee for Quality Assurance.
