In this episode of Good Work West Texas, hosts Cindy Payton and Leslie Crisp sit down with Executive Director Renee Meiner and Medical Director Dr. Casey Mraz, MD of Community Children’s Clinic—a nonprofit serving local families who fall between the gaps of traditional healthcare.Renee shares the clinic’s inspiring origin story dating back to 1984, when a small group of community members came together to ensure children could receive medical care regardless of insurance or income. Dr. Mraz discusses her personal journey from residency at the clinic to becoming its medical director and the impact of their $20 all-inclusive visits for Midland County families.Together, they highlight how the clinic bridges access to healthcare, provides on-site pharmacy services, and collaborates with partners like Midland Memorial Hospital and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. They also share volunteer opportunities, community partnerships, and their annual “Dink & Dine” Pickleball Tournament, which raises funds to keep kids healthy and cared for in our community.It’s a heartfelt look at how compassion, collaboration, and faith continue to make a difference for thousands of children across Midland.Chapters00:00 – Intro01:00 – History of the Community Children’s Clinic02:00 – Serving uninsured and low-income families04:00 – Inside the daily operations of the clinic07:45 – Who qualifies for care10:50 – Stories of families served12:40 – The cost of care and donor support16:25 – Renee’s journey to nonprofit leadership19:40 – How volunteers and board members help21:45 – “Dink & Dine” fundraiser and community fun23:35 – Dr. Mraz’s background and calling to serve26:10 – Awareness and collaboration goals31:10 – Legacy stories of families helped through generations35:30 – The importance of Every Neighbor’s partnership38:25 – Closing reflections and final thoughts
