In North Texas, we’re all about convenience. The drive-through Starbucks, burger joint, even drive through bank. Still, there aren’t any drive through health clinics…the closest thing are clinics on wheels run by Parkland. Those have been crisscrossing the city of Dallas for more than a decade, serving the people in the community that need it most.
