HARLINGEN, TX – TRB joins Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) South Texas and Su Clinica in their shared commitment to delivering critical dental care to underserved communities through the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® program.
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® is a 40-foot mobile healthcare vehicle uniquely designed to deliver high-quality dental care. With a full-time staff, including a dentist, two dental hygienists, and support personnel, the Care Mobile can travel directly into communities where children and families face barriers to accessing regular healthcare.
TRB has committed to sponsor the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® Program with a donation of $75,000 over the next five years to help ensure the success of this transformative program, which brings much-needed dental care and health education to Cameron and Willacy counties and into areas where resources are limited.
This partnership reflects Texas Regional Bank’s (TRB) dedication to making the Rio Grande Valley a better place to work and live, while supporting the shared commitment of RMHC and Su Clinica to enhance access to vital healthcare services for children and families in the region.
“The Care Mobile Program has the power to transform lives by bringing quality healthcare to families who need it most,” said Michael Scaief, TRB’s Chairman and CEO. “At TRB, we believe in serving our community as neighbors, not just as clients. Supporting this mission reflects our core belief that when we invest in our community’s well-being, we all thrive. We are honored to stand with Ronald McDonald House Charities and Su Clinica to ensure children and families receive the care they deserve.”
Key Features of the Program: |
Services: Dental care, preventative care, health education, and referrals. |
Locations: Schools, Head Start programs, community centers, and housing authorities in Cameron and Willacy counties. |
Impact: Estimated 3,250 dental encounters annually, averaging 24 visits per day during a nine-month operational period. |
“Our mission has always been to ensure that children and families have access to the care they need, no matter their circumstances,” said Michelle Horine, CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities South Texas. “The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® will serve as a lifeline for children in the Rio Grande Valley, delivering essential dental and medical care and creating pathways to better health. We are deeply grateful for the support of partners like TRB, whose contributions enable us to extend our reach and fulfill our mission.”
Su Clinica, a trusted healthcare provider in the region, will manage the day-to-day operations of the Care Mobile, ensuring that families receive consistent and reliable care. This program, in collaboration with Su Clinica, reflects the shared values of compassion and community.
The partnership between RMHC South Texas, Su Clinica, and TRB highlights a unified commitment to building healthier, stronger communities. Through this collaboration, the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile® will not only provide dental care but also inspire hope and connection in underserved areas.
