NAGEL CLINIC NEWS SUMMER 2021
RESTORING HEALTH AND HOPE IN BANDERA COUNTY
While the medical care system focuses
mainly on the individual patient,
the Nagel Clinic never overlooks
the powerful influence of family in
sustaining a healthy lifestyle and
providing a safety net of support in
times of need. Family involvement is a
critical component of patient-centered
care that impacts the quality of care
and patient outcome.
It has been said that the family is the hidden agent of health
activity in the United States. For example, studies indicate
that seven illness episodes are treated at home for each
one that requires professional attention. For this reason,
the Nagel Clinic believes focusing on policy and practice to
support families in this pivotal role provides a powerful and
cost-effective means of preventive health care.
One such family that benefits from this approach to healthy
living is that of Juan and Paola Gutierrez, along with their
three children: Allie (age 11), Juanito (age 5), and (the newest
member of the family) little Salomon. While the Clinic does
not offer pediatrics, our care of Paola with her pregnancy
test and pre-natal advice contributed to the good health of
both mother and child. Juan is on the staff of Helping Hand
of Bandera County, while Paola is a longtime volunteer. We
recently spoke with Juan about the importance of the Nagel
Clinic to his family.
When did you and Paola find out about the Clinic?
We started around five years ago, when I began working
at Helping Hand. I don’t come very often but I was recently
FamilyMatters
here for some fatigue brought on by simple dehydration. I am
thinking about signing up for an annual physical exam during
June for Mens’ Health Month.
What about anything more serious?
A few years back, I had some major intestinal issues.
Susan Broa (Clinical Director) referred me for a colonoscopy.
Luckily, everything was fine, but I have to say the prep with
drinking the fluid was not the most pleasant (he laughs). The
procedure itself was easy, and I’m glad it showed there was
nothing seriously wrong.
What does it mean to you to have the Clinic here
to take care of you and your wife in case of illness
or injury?
It’s a relief, I have to say. It’s always a friendly environment,
knowledgeable people, and the cost is covered for us. When
I was referred for the colonoscopy, we were asked to donate
something to the Clinic, but beyond that, the procedure was
covered. For a person that does not have insurance – that
means a lot. Paola has been to the Clinic more than I have
due to a family history of elevated cholesterol. She gets good
advice on staying active, what to eat, and now it has returned
to normal stage.
What about other members of your family?
I know my dad has been here a couple of times. Several
friends have come to the Clinic. I know that if the Clinic was
not here, a trip to the emergency room in Kerrville takes time
and could cost thousands of dollars. I have done that one
time, before I started work at Helping Hand. I hurt my foot
and went to the E.R. They took x-rays, did not give me any
painkillers, and the bill was $2,000. I thought it was broken,
but it was just a bad sprain. That really takes a hit on your
budget. Many people in this community depend on the
Clinic. I have to say the biggest plus about the Clinic is that
for people without insurance – they get good care and don’t
have to worry about paying a huge bill.

The Nagel Clinic is excited to announce a new challenge grant offered by the Carl & Marie Jo Anderson Foundation in the amount of $20,000. The Clinic must raise $20,000 from 1) donors giving above what they gave last year; 2) first-time donors; or 3) donors who did not give in 2020. You can help today by using the enclosed reply envelope to make your special gift for this wonderful challenge grant to provide no-cost, primary health care to low-income, uninsured residents of Bandera County in need. This grant opportunity is the first-ever partnership between the Nagel Clinic and Carl & Marie Jo Anderson Foundation.
The Carl & Marie Jo Anderson Foundation was created
through the will bequests of Carl C. Anderson, Sr. and Marie
Jo Anderson. The Foundation funds non-profit organizations
in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Since its inception,
the Foundation has invested more than $50 million in
nonprofit organizations to assist them in serving low-income
and vulnerable populations, needs of children and youth,
enhancing the quality of life for senior, improving the quality
of life for people with disabilities, and medical research.
Preference is given to nonprofits serving rural counties.

The Nagel Clinic is pleased
to announce the election of
Mike Arguelles to its Board
of Directors. Mr. Arguelles
is retired from 30+ years as
a firefighter in Los Angeles
and currently serves as a
supervisory committee chair
for a $2B national credit
union. He is also an Adjunct
Instructor with the Texas A&M Engineering Extension
Service (TEEX) in College Station, an internationally
recognized center for fire and rescue, safety, and
homeland security training. He and his wife, JoAnn,
reside in Pipe Creek and are real estate developers in the
Hill Country area.
Also newly elected to the Board
is Michael R. Mulherin,
a retired executive with
Dow Chemical Company’s
cogeneration plants, energy
technology center, and energy
business. Mr. Mulherin brings
a wealth of knowledge in
budgets, audits, assessments,
and senior administrative
review for a corporate giant to the Clinic’s Board. He and
his wife, Rachel, moved from the Gulf Coast to Lakehills
full-time, where they built a home in 2012. They are active
with the Lake Medina Conservation Society, Medina River
Protection Fund, and Bandera County River and Ground
Water District. Additionally, they attend St. Christopher’s
Episcopal Church, where Mike serves on the Vestry and
Outreach Committee. St. Christopher’s played a pivotal role in
the Clinic’s founding, as it was there, 13 years ago, that Arthur
Nagel sought advice for how to establish and fund it.
New Board Members

The Nagel Clinic’s medical and administrative staff, with
key volunteers, gathered for an all-day strategic planning
session on March 11 at the gorgeous Lodge on San Julian
Creek. This critical planning, involving the staff, volunteers,
and Board of Directors, occurs every 4-5 years and deter-
mines the future course of the organization. Our time at
the Lodge was generously underwritten by the Albert &
Margaret Alkek Foundation.
Strategic Planning Success!
The Arthur Nagel Community Clinic has announced the
reopening of their Nagel Clinic at Lakehills, which has been
shuttered since March of last year due to the COVID-19
pandemic and the temporary closing of the Lakehills
Community Center. Located in what is arguably the most
populous area of Bandera County, the branch clinic is again
operating inside the Lakehills Community Center on the
first and third Mondays of each month from 11:30 am until
3:30 pm. The Lakehills Community Center is located at
11225 PR 37, in Lakehills near the shores of Medina Lake.
With the rate of COVID-19 vaccinations increasing each
week, our friends on the Board of Directors of the Lakehills
Community Center have decided to reopen to the public and
we are so pleased to be offering no-cost health care services
to families in Pipe Creek, Bandera Falls, and Lakehills who
can again receive care much closer to where they live. We
urge existing patients and others in the area needing care to
call the main Clinic in Bandera at (830) 796-3448 to set up an
appointment for the Nagel Clinic at Lakehills.
To be eligible to receive services, all Nagel Clinic
patients must provide documented proof of identity,
residency in Bandera County, and family income at or
below 250% of the federal poverty level. Since the
founding of the Nagel Clinic in 2008, medical services have
been provided without charge thanks to generous funding
Nagel Clinic at Lakehills Reopensfrom foundations, corporations, congregations, civic groups
and individuals.
Lakehills Community Center Board President, Kelly Beedle,
shared her excitement about the Clinic’s return to the Lakehills
area. “We are very happy about this restart as well. This
medical service is beneficial to our community at many levels.

From The Executive DirectorThese are exceptional days for the Nagel
Clinic. Thank you for partnering with us as
we weathered the challenging year of 2020,
strengthened our financial position, and
developed a new strategic plan to take us
through the next four years of meeting the
health care needs of the most vulnerable in
our community.
We all want life to get back to normal. The good news is we’re getting there. Millions of Americans
have received the COVID-19 vaccines. However, more people still need to be vaccinated in order
to stop the spread of the virus. I’m proud to say that the Nagel Clinic has joined forces with other
organizations across the region to increase awareness and improve vaccination rates.
As the Nagel Clinic continues to redefine its community fundraising event to popular acclaim and
sold-out houses, we are pleased to announce Cork & Fork is back for 2021. Under the theme of
“Will The Circle Be Unbroken: Family, Faith, Freedom”, we will return to The Farm Country Club
on Saturday, November 13. Watch for ticket information in the months ahead. The Clinic is bringing
back music and fun for a worthy cause, and we cannot wait for you to join us.
Lastly, we are delighted that the Carl & Marie Jo Anderson Foundation has, in a new partnership
with us, issued a $20,000 challenge grant for our mission. If the Clinic raises $20,000 from first-
time donors, lapsed donors, or increased gifts over last year, we will receive this needed grant to
help treat our patients. Please join us in this great challenge and make your gift today.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Get vaccinated.

Space for the Nagel Clinic’s services at Lakehills is generously
provided by the Community Center. A new medical exam bed
was donated to the Nagel Clinic for the Lakehills location in 2019
by St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Bandera.
Tuttle, the MIS class project took three months. It involved an in-depth
examination by the students of the multiple steps in the nonprofit
grants process. These include comprehensive funding research,
initial outreach, cultivation, completing the detailed application with
requested budgets and other attachments, grant award, reporting
on the use of funds, recognition, and ongoing relationship with the
foundation or corporation.
The Nagel Clinic is deeply indebted to Professor Tuttle and the
McCombs School of Business at UT Austin for sharing the energy,
enthusiasm, knowledge, and skill of these outstanding students for this
invaluable project to advance our mission.

Why the Nagel Clinic?
Twenty percent of Texas residents are uninsured – twice the
national average, and the highest state percentage in the
country. According to the Texas Association of Community
Health Centers, about 1.3 million low-income Texans – 42%
of whom are uninsured – rely on community health centers
as their primary health care resource.
Nearly 15% of those living in Bandera County, or
roughly 3,466 individuals based on July 2019 census data,
have incomes at or below 250% of the poverty level,
making them eligible for the Nagel Clinic’s services and
programs. The most recent statistics estimate Bandera
County’s unemployment rate to be 6.0% (Texas Workforce
Commission 1/2021), slightly lower than the overall jobless
rate of 6.6 % for the 13-county Alamo metro area (Alamo
Workforce Solutions, 1/2021).
The patient-to-physician ratio for the county is 3,500:1;
mental health providers at 2,000:1; and the patient-to-dentist
ratio is 7,000:1 (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, County
Health Rankings 2018.) The Texas Education Agency reports
that 51% of students in Bandera and Medina Independent
School Districts are economically disadvantaged, and 43%
are at risk of not finishing high school. Based on U.S. Census
figures, the county federal poverty rate is nearly 15% of the
23,000 residents.
For Bandera County residents, the closest area hospital
is either a two-hour roundtrip to San Antonio, or a one-hour
roundtrip to Kerrville. This presents a hardship for those
without reliable transportation, sufficient financial means,
and/or schedules that permit lengthy doctor visits.
Additionally, the cost for a trip to the emergency room is
on average 12 times higher than being treated at a medical
provider’s office for common ailments (Houston Chronicle).
For the uninsured, the costs increase more since there is
no carrier to negotiate lower prices. Hospital losses are
frequently offset by federal aid coming from taxpayers.
By continuing to provide health care services the Nagel
Clinic ensures that long-term adverse health consequences,
and attendant financial consequences, are minimized for
the most vulnerable individuals and families in rural Bandera
County.

After successfully reimagining our largest annual fundraising
event in 2018 and 2019, the Nagel Clinic canceled the 2020
Cork & Fork because of the global pandemic. Now, with
the mitigation of the virus through safety measures and
vaccinations, the Clinic very much looks forward to welcoming
the community once again to The Farm Country Club this fall for
another memorable and record-breaking Cork & Fork.
“We’re back!” is the collective declaration of the Clinic’s Board
of Directors, Volunteers, and Staff in anticipation of this year’s
showcase event to be held on Saturday, November 13. When
it became necessary to cancel last year’s event, many loyal and
generous supporters stepped up to replace the funds lost to
the operating budget by the cancellation, and we met our goal!
Thank you!
In appreciation of that support, invitations to the 7th annual Cork
& Fork will go first to those who gave to the Rally For The Clinic
Campaign last fall, then to sponsors and ticket buyers for Cork
& Fork in 2018 and 2019. Tickets will go on sale to the public
after Labor Day weekend.
This year’s theme is “Will The Circle Be Unbroken: Family,
Faith, and Freedom” with a reflection on what makes the
Bandera and Hill Country communities so uniquely strong and
united in spirit. New beginnings are cause for celebration, and
we cannot wait to share the joyful return of this remarkable
event with you.
CORK & FORKIS BACK! NOV 13
By Donna Carrasco, L.P.C., N.C.C., C.A.R.T.Integrated Behavioral Health Counselor
The past 16 months of living with COVID-19
has brought many changes for everyone.
We saw significant changes in mental health
in Bandera County, similar to trends seen
around the world. We made several more referrals of
Clinic patients to the Texas Department of Mental Health
& Developmental Disability for further evaluation than we
had in previous years – and quite possibly more than the
prior two years combined.
During the beginning of the pandemic, our weekly
counseling sessions decreased. This was to be expected,
when you look closely at human development. There is
a theory in psychology known as Maslow’s Hierarchy. At
the core level of the theory, humans need to have their
basic needs met. They need food, shelter, clothing,
and safety. At this time, people began to focus on
their immediate safety from the virus, and whether
there would be a disruption to the supply chain.
They isolated at home as requested.
Soon summer arrived. As folks began to realize
they were relatively safe and needs were being met, a
new trauma response surfaced for many. After months of
being locked down and isolated, people found they had
developed acute depression. The only connection some
had to others and the outside world was through social
media and the news networks. Suddenly, we saw a surge
in appointments for depression and anxiety at the Clinic.
This was exactly on trend. Our weekly sessions doubled
as more and more of our patients sought help with the
newly formed depression and anxiety.
In the fall, our weekly sessions began decreasing
and returning to levels seen in previous years. Also, we
had moved to telehealth. This had an added bonus for
our patients that we did not anticipate: approximately half
of our patients have asked to remain on telehealth. They
reported that telehealth has been easier for them with
their busy work schedules and families. It has also been
easier for them financially as they do not have to pay for
rides or gas to drive to the Clinic.
Now we have watched as the vaccine rollout has
intensified during the spring of 2021. Case numbers and
deaths have decreased substantially in the U.S. More of
our pre-COVID life and activities are resuming. Interactions
with family and friends are increasing. While we will never
be free of stressors that affect daily living, at least for now
they are compounded less by fear of a debilitating and
sometimes fatal disease.
MENTAL HEALTH UPDATE
With the pandemic-caused cancellation of Cork & Fork for 2020, the following individuals and organizations responded generously to our Rally For The Clinic Campaign and met the sizeable budget gap caused by the absence of this event. They are our Cork & Fork Angels. We salute each one of them for their significant compassion and care for our community. Thank you!

One hundred percent of the Board of Directors and Staff of the Nagel Clinic contribute financially to its mission.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS!
ANNUAL FUND DONORS
The Clinic gratefully recognizes the commitment and generosity of our annual contributors.

The Nagel Clinic has been able to upgrade
technology and add value to the patient
experience with the acquisition of needed
equipment.
To save time and expense for results from an
outside lab, an A1C Analyzer was purchased for
our in-house lab.
Likewise, patients no longer must travel to
and from Boerne for some imaging as a new
portable Ultrasound has been added. This device
is especially helpful for our patients in the Well-
Woman Program.
Lloyd and Sheri Norris have gifted the Clinic with
a new, digital 1,000-lb capacity weight scale with
needed handrails for our infirm patients.
And finally, thanks to Methodist Healthcare
Ministries, the Clinic replaced its timeworn ECG
with a brand new model.

Linda Smith is just what the doctor ordered: an eager, friendly,
and skilled volunteer for the Nagel Clinic who comes with
a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration from the
University of California at San Bernardino. She hails from
Apple Valley, California, which is famous for a couple of other
residents: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Linda feels right at
home in Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World.
We are so fortunate to have Linda, who knows her way
around complex electronic medical records and healthcare
terminology, plus is an always smiling face when she interacts
with patients at the reception desk or on the phone.
Linda is a relatively new resident of Texas, who discovered the
Clinic when she came to donate some medical supplies after
the death of her husband. Her remarkable talents became so
needed that she quickly went from one day to two and a half
days per week. She cites her love for the Nagel Clinic in this
order: 1) the people she gets to work with; 2) the fulfillment of
the work itself; and 3) the patients are so nice!
We Love Our Volunteers
