The Dallas County Medical Society, established in 1876, is a professional organization of more than 6,400 Dallas County physicians and medical students. DCMS has grown to become the second largest county medical society in the nation, and is known nationally for its innovative programs and cutting-edge healthcare initiatives. DCMS is a member of the federation of medicine with the Texas Medical Association and the American Medical Association. Although DCMS is not a government organization, we work closely with local and state governmental entities to ensure that Dallas residents receive the highest quality medical care. DCMS focuses on local medical issues, one of which is healthcare access to the working poor.

In 2001, DCMS, in collaboration with several community partners, began Project Access Dallas. This community service project was created to expand healthcare access and improve health outcomes for low-income, uninsured Dallas County residents who do not qualify for government assistance programs, but struggle daily with the challenges of poverty. The backbone of PAD is the network of volunteer physicians who generously donate their services to patients enrolled in the program.
