In May 2023, after two years of renovations, a transformed Harris Health Quentin Mease Health Center opened. The center features greater capacity and the latest equipment and technology to accommodate a wide range of specialties. The spacious five-story location serves as the new home for:

Thomas Street at Quentin Mease Health Center – The relocated HIV/AIDS clinic now boasts 42 exam rooms, pharmacy, lab and rehabilitation services in a larger and modern space. The new clinic can accommodate more than 17,000 patient visits a year.

Harris Health Dialysis Center at Quentin Mease – The relocated Riverside Dialysis Center now has 29 hemodialysis stations with staff accommodating two shifts a day for patients six days a week—a gamechanger for patients who require regular hemodialysis—and offers special training for patients who perform peritoneal dialysis at home.

Harris Health Endoscopy Center – A new service that features state-of-the-art scopes, adjustable-height ergonomic sinks, advanced imaging and pre-procedure and recovery areas, this new center significantly increases Harris Health's capacity to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services for early cancer detection and prevention.

In honor of , we are reminded that teen mental health is not a trend.

A special thank you to for partnering with Harris Health and donating these thoughtful mental health kits for our teens. From journals and affirmation cards to self-care resources, every detail was intentional and rooted in compassion. Small acts of kindness can open the door to healing, hope and honest conversations.

Let’s continue creating safe spaces for teens to speak up, heal, and grow. If you or your organization would like to support future initiatives for Harris Health patients, we would love to connect. Email: giving@harrishealth.org.
