New partnership brings health services to southeast Dallas

October 2020

Living in some Dallas ZIP codes can shorten your life expectancy by nearly 10 years. That’s the reality facing residents of the 75210 ZIP code in southeast Dallas, which is part of the Jubilee Park neighborhood.

“Different ZIP codes within a city shouldn’t have life expectancies of 10 to 15 years’ difference for residents living only a few miles apart,” said Marissa Castro Mikoy, president and CEO of Jubilee Park and Community Center.

Tucked away in southeast Dallas, Jubilee Park is a 62-block area bracketed by I-30 on the north and Fair Park on the south. From the 1920s to the 1970s, it was the home of the Ford Motor Company automotive plant. As the factory closed and the recently built highway isolated the community, the neighborhood changed.

Today, Jubilee Park encompasses three of the poorest ZIP codes in Dallas. A family of five living in this neighborhood makes less than $25,000 a year. Most residents have insurance, but lack of access and other barriers stand between them and getting healthcare for themselves and their family.

With access to preventive and specialty care limited, it’s a prime location for a clinic to make a difference.

“Bringing a medical home to our community will be a game changer in how our neighbors interact with the healthcare system,” Castro Mikoy said. “So many of our families and seniors are only able to seek healthcare if it is an emergency.”

Parkland has partnered with Jubilee Park to bring health resources to southeast Dallas in the first partnership of its kind. The Jubilee Clinic will bring healthcare services to residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, including: 

  • Primary care for all ages
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Point-of-care testing for illnesses such as strep throat and the flu
  • Language assistance
  • Social work
  • Patient Financial Services 

“We are excited to partner with Jubilee Park to bring healthcare services to this vulnerable area in our community,” said Christina Mintner, Parkland’s senior vice president of population health and HOMES. “The new clinic will provide access to quality care right where it’s needed in southeast Dallas.”

In addition to the services provided by Parkland, Jubilee partners with community organizations to offer behavioral health services, case management such as translation and financial assistance, health education, fitness classes, youth sports programs, workforce development and more.

Castro Mikoy said that Jubilee’s current programs address five out of the six social determinants of health, including economic stability, neighborhood and physical environment, education, food and community context.

She added, “Our partnership with Parkland provides the missing piece of having equitable access to the health system for our neighbors, the sixth social determinant of health. Together, we’re building a model for community health that will affect generations to come.”
