Legacy Community Health

Legacy Community Health is the largest nongovernmental community health organization in Texas, providing comprehensive primary and behavioral healthcare services to more than 185,000 patients each year at 36 clinic locations throughout the greater Houston and Beaumont areas.

Legacy offers adult primary care, pediatrics, dental care, vision services, behavioral health services, OB/GYN and maternity, vaccinations and immunizations, health promotion and community outreach, wellness and nutrition, and comprehensive HIV/AIDS care.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Legacy provides services to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Most of Legacy’s patients are at a significant economic disadvantage. In 2019, more than 30% of Legacy’s patients had no health insurance or other form of coverage, 93% had an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, and 69% were living in poverty.

Legacy's vision of connecting our communities to health every day in every way is evident in our programming and partnerships. Our School-Based Health Care Program provides affordable primary and behavioral health care services during school hours on the campuses of KIPP, YES Prep and Galena Park ISD. Students can easily access the pediatric health care they need without missing school, and parents do not have to miss work to take their children to appointments.

Legacy’s Little Readers builds home libraries and promotes childhood literacy by providing a free book to our youngest pediatric patients during well-child visits. Since 2015, our providers have given away more than 150,000 books, along with a “prescription to read” for parents and their children.
