Legacy Community Health headed north this week to drop off a truckload of supplies for flood victims in San Angelo, Texas. Legacy's facilities team collected and wrapped pallets stacked with individual hygiene kits and other donations, courtesy of our friends at International Medical Corps (IMC) and Direct Relief.

Facilities Management Senior Director Eric Howard and Marketing Manager Ivan Bocanegra drove to San Angelo to deliver the much-needed supplies to our fellow Texas FQHC, La Esperanza Clinic. CEO Dean Munn and his team have been out in the community with their mobile unit, with anxiety and medication needs as top concerns.

"Texas Community Health Centers always rise to the cause and are part of the solution," said Munn. "We appreciate our friends at Legacy for making the six-hour drive here to bring us these supplies."

A heartfelt thank you to Team Legacy for truly bringing our mission to life— Driving healthy change in our communities!

Did you know that hepatitis can go unnoticed for years?

That’s why getting tested is so important!

On H-Town Live, Jill Jahns, Health Navigation Director at Legacy, sat down with Maggie Flecknoe to talk about why hepatitis awareness is so important. Many people don’t realize they have it until it causes serious health issues—but early detection can make all the difference.

Legacy makes testing easy and accessible. If you haven’t been tested, now is the time.

📞 Schedule your hepatitis test today by calling 832-548-5000.

Not feeling sick anymore? That’s great—but don’t stop your antibiotics early. 💊

Even if your symptoms improve, cutting your treatment short can leave behind stronger bacteria—and make you sick all over again. At Legacy, we want our patients to feel better for good.

Your provider prescribes a full antibiotic course for a reason: to wipe out the infection completely and prevent resistance. If you have questions about your medication, we’re here to help.

Sylvester Turner was a true servant leader and a strong supporter of Legacy Community Health. From his earliest days as a State Representative, he recognized the impact of HIV on Houstonians and fought to garner funding for Legacy programs that served people with AIDS. Throughout his years of public service, he consistently worked by Legacy’s side as we expanded care for more Houstonians across the region. He supported the expansion of Medicaid and fought for extended pre and postnatal maternal care.

During his term as Mayor, he celebrated Legacy’s growth and success throughout his tenure, always helping us access available funds for services and partnering with us during times of disaster and COVID. Then Mayor Turner placed a letter highlighting Legacy’s community contributions in our Annual Report most every year. He embraced Legacy and our services after the Pulse shooting in Orlando and named some of our team to his newly appointed LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee.
