Community Health Provider Aims to Make Health Care More Accessible

Dallas, TX, May 23, 2025 – Memorial Day is a moment when the nation comes together to pay tribute to the bravery of our heroes, including those who may be silently battling, and to consider the impact that mental health struggles can have – particularly on families, veterans, and first responders. It’s a day that can be burdensome for many, with an increasing number of individuals needing support to cope. As the spotlight shines on mental health, a pressing concern emerges: the growing unmet need for behavioral health services in certain communities.

The scarcity of mental health professionals is stark in rural U.S. counties, with around 81% of these areas classified as underserved for mental health care, according to Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designations by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The demand for mental health assistance is intensifying, prompting action.

Total Point Healthcare, a provider in Texas and Missouri, is striving to enhance affordability and accessibility of various healthcare services in underserved areas. The organization is committed to offering prompt Urgent Care without long waiting times, primarily catering to low-income families in smaller communities. In honor of Behavioral Health month in May, the company has unveiled its latest initiative: Total Point Behavioral Health Care services.

The current landscape of Behavioral Health often involves seeking out costly specialists with lengthy waiting lists. However, Total Point provides Behavioral Health services at a fraction of the cost compared to many specialists, with the option of a Wellness Membership plan to further reduce expenses. This can be a game-changer for families with limited financial resources facing significant mental health issues. Karina Guffey, a Behavioral health provider at the company’s Springfield, MO location, emphasized the importance of comprehensive care, stating, “Access to both mental and physical health services can make a world of difference for families, and it’s incredibly fulfilling for us.” She added, “We are committed to delivering compassionate, holistic care to areas that have historically lacked such services. Mental health support should be accessible everywhere, even in the smallest communities – and that’s why we are taking action.”

Total Point Healthcare’s Behavioral Health services are currently available in Springfield, MO, South Dallas, TX, and Jacksonville, TX, as well as through TeleVisit services, with plans for expanding these services in the near future. The organization operates Emergency Centers, Urgent Care facilities, and Primary Care clinics in various locations across Texas and Missouri.
