General Health Care

Now Start Community Foundation’s iCovenant Care Clinic—often referred to as iC3—offers essential general healthcare services at little or no cost for low‑income, uninsured, or underinsured adults (18+) in San Antonio, Texas. Through a partnership between Now Word Covenant Church (NWCC) and Eixsys Healthcare System, iC3 provides basic medical care for chronic conditions (such as type II diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and allergies) as well as treatment for minor acute illnesses like headaches, sore throats, coughs, colds, and mild gastrointestinal concerns. Appointments are available in‑person or via telehealth, typically lasting 15–30 minutes, with access to referrals for labs, imaging, and medication if needed—ensuring clients receive comprehensive care even with limited financial means.

Counseling

iC3 also provides mental health counseling and behavioral health services to adults (18+) in San Antonio, offering therapeutic support for non‑medical mental illnesses and life stressors at little or no cost. Licensed professional counselors deliver 30–60 minute sessions, focusing on emotional wellness, coping strategies, and stress management. Initial assessments help determine the need for higher‑level care, and referrals are arranged when appropriate to ensure clients access more specialized behavioral healthcare. These services are designed to support individuals facing grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, or adjusting life transitions, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.

Prescription Services

iC3 supports patients experiencing low income, underinsurance, or lack of insurance by providing access to medication services through referrals and coordinated support. During medical visits—whether managing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, or addressing minor acute ailments—providers assess the patient’s need for prescription medications. If medications are required, iC3 facilitates referrals for prescriptions as well as blood work or imaging, ensuring clients can secure labs or pharmacy support through its partnership network. Although iC3 does not operate an on-site pharmacy, these services help patients obtain necessary medication at low or no cost when possible, maintaining continuity and quality of care for individuals who might otherwise face barriers to treatment.
