In 1970, the city of San Antonio reported 257 cases of Diphtheria, including four deaths, from what should have been an easily curable infection of the nose and throat. The need for clinics that treated every person regardless of their financial situation was necessary but, at the time, not available.
CommuniCares history started with Sister Dolores unconditional love to provide care for those in need. Sister Dolores Girault, D.C., a retired nurse and pharmacist, realized there was an increasing need for healthcare especially for those of the West side of San Antonio. So, she solicited support and acquired funding to operate a two-exam room pediatric clinic in the back of a local church to care for children in need.
Today, CommuniCare is a full service primary and specialty healthcare system that, to this day, represents the genuine and unconditional care and love that Sister Dolores showcased. CommuniCare is determined to provide families the care they need and to make them feel at home as much as possible.
