San José Clinic

San José Clinic San José Clinic is the original safety-net clinic in Houston. It is a critical part of the healthcare safety net in Greater Houston.

San José Clinic's mission is to provide healing through quality healthcare and education with respect and compassion for those with limited access to care. Serving those who are uninsured and uninsurable, the Clinic is a leading provider of quality primary, specialty, behavioral, dental, and pharmacy services for individuals and families who struggle the most with accessing care. Responding to the

rising rate of infant mortality in the Mexican community of Houston, in 1922, Monsignor George T. Walsh appealed to the Charity Guild of Catholic Women to establish a free clinic to serve the health needs of the poor. From humble beginnings, San José Clinic has grown into a health home for thousands of Houstonians in need. One hundred-one years later, it proudly upholds the legacy of its founders by continuing to provide healthcare for those who need it most. San José Clinic is a 501(c)(3), a United Way partner, a Texas Medical Center institution, and a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

Last week, our very own Lucresia Montez had the powerful opportunity to attend The Survivor’s Academy, an intensive, survivor-led training hosted by the John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy. This transformative experience explored the journey from victim to survivor to thriver, offering deep insight into healing, advocacy, and the strength of lived experience.

With over 20 survivor-leaders guiding the conversation, this wasn’t just about awareness—it was about action and transformation. We are proud to carry these lessons forward in our mission to serve with dignity and compassion.

Our Story

San José Clinic provides a beautiful, caring place for those in need to afford quality comprehensive healthcare. Our work includes medical, dental, pharmacy, and specialty services for low-income, uninsured individuals. Our mission is to provide quality healthcare and education to those with limited access to such services in an environment which respects the dignity of each person.

San José Clinic began with the vision of Monsignor Walsh, a donation of $50 from the Charity Guild of Catholic Women and volunteers from the community, who all came together with the same hope of breaking down barriers to healthcare for the underserved. Ninety-five years later, we continue to proudly uphold the legacy of our founders by continuing to provide healthcare for those who need a health home the most.

San José Clinic is a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, an agency of the United Way of Greater Houston, and an institution of the Texas Medical Center.
