Strengthening partnerships, advancing technology, and deepening our impact across Houston’s healthcare and social services... all of these steps took us closer to our goal of promoting health equity!

From enhancing United Way’s Integrated Client Journey platform to fighting hunger with Houston Food Bank, and from real-time community engagement to data-driven efforts reducing recidivism, our work is all about connecting people to the resources they need—faster and smarter.

We’re also proud to honor the legacy of our co-founder Jim Turley and welcome new social work interns who bring fresh energy to our mission.

Thank you to all of our partners—we are so grateful to work together for this community!

At Patient Care Intervention Center (PCIC), we know that addressing food insecurity and health challenges requires coordinated efforts and effective technology. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Houston Food Bank (HFB) to support their Community Assistance Program (CAP) and Medically-Tailored-Meals (MTM) program. Together, we’re leveraging technology to improve how essential services reach vulnerable populations across the Houston area.

Through this partnership, PCIC provides a robust technology platform that streamlines client referrals, manages meal deliveries, and facilitates communication between HFB, their partner agencies, and funders.

Summer safety is a health equity issue.

It’s easy to think of summer safety as applying sunscreen or staying hydrated—but for many in our communities, safety also means having access to:

☀️ Air conditioning
☀️ Safe public spaces
☀️ Cooling centers and transit
☀️ Reliable access to water and food

At PCIC, we’re committed to building systems of care that respond to extreme heat and other seasonal risks. Because true safety means meeting people’s needs where they are.

Let’s talk about the hard stuff.

Men are statistically less likely to seek preventive care, mental health support, or treatment for chronic conditions—and systemic barriers only deepen those disparities.

At PCIC, we’re working with partners to break those barriers down. Whether it’s through coordinated housing and health services, behavioral health integration with social care systems, or better data to inform outreach, we believe men’s health is a community issue—not an individual one.

This week, we’re raising awareness. But every week, we’re building a system where more men feel seen, supported, and connected to care.

Post-traumatic stress isn’t always visible—but its effects ripple across lives, families, and communities.

If you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD, you're not alone. NAMI HelpLine is available M-F, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET. Call 800-950-6264, text “NAMI” to 62640, or chat online. In a crisis, call or text 988 (24/7).

At PCIC, we support trauma-informed systems of care that meet people where they are—especially those navigating housing instability, chronic illness, or recovery. Through cross-agency collaboration and integrated data tools, we help care teams deliver support with compassion and continuity.

🧩 From first responders to postpartum mothers to those experiencing community violence—healing requires more than therapy. It requires connection.

Let’s build systems that treat trauma as part of the full person, not a separate issue.

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day🙌

A day to honor the strength of survivors—and to reflect on what survivorship really means.

At PCIC, we know the end of treatment doesn’t mean the end of care. Survivors often face new challenges: financial strain, mental health impacts, housing instability, and long-term health needs. That’s why we focus on systems of care that follow through—not just check the box.

Our technology helps our partners stay connected across disciplines, ensuring that cancer survivors receive the support they need to thrive—body, mind, and spirit.

To all the survivors in our community and beyond—we see you. We celebrate you. We stand with you.

Today, we pause to honor the lives of those who gave everything in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom, safety, and well-being are deeply interconnected—and that caring for our communities is one of the greatest ways we can honor their legacy.

At PCIC, we’re committed to connecting systems of care that support every person—including veterans, military families, and those navigating the long-term impacts of service.

Whether it’s through coordinated access to health care, behavioral health support, or essential community resources, we believe that honoring our heroes means caring for those they left behind.

This Memorial Day, we remember. We reflect. And we recommit to serving with purpose.

👩‍⚕️🌍 Honoring International Nurses Day🌍👨‍⚕️
Today, we celebrate nurses across the globe whose care knows no borders.

At PCIC, we see firsthand how nurses are the heart of equitable, compassionate healthcare. Whether it’s coordinating care for vulnerable populations, connecting clients to food, housing, or mental health services, or simply being a steady presence in a moment of crisis—nurses lead with empathy and action.

Your work is not only essential—it’s transformational.

💙 On this International Nurses Day, we honor your strength, your advocacy, and your commitment to building healthier communities everywhere.

Today, we celebrate the strength and love of mothers everywhere—and recommit to supporting those facing the toughest journeys with care and compassion.

Through our partnership with Harris Health System’s Ben Taub Hospital (MPact Clinic) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, PCIC is proud to support the Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) program—an initiative focused on providing whole-person, coordinated care to pregnant and postpartum mothers affected by opioid use disorder.

💙 Last year marked the successful completion of Year 5 of the CMS-funded MOM Model. Having met all performance milestones, we've been granted additional funding to continue into Year 6 (2025)—with a new focus on sustainability, so this vital work can continue long after the program ends.

Because every mom deserves access to care that meets them where they are—and every baby deserves the strongest start possible.

🎉 May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month 🎉
At PCIC, we believe that care is most effective when it’s grounded in understanding—not assumptions.

Too often, communities face barriers to care not just because of access, but because of misalignment between healthcare systems and cultural values. That’s why our Unified Care Continuum Platform (UCCP) is designed to do more than collect data—it helps us listen.

💬 Using UCCP, our partners center the patient’s voice and values to understand the full context of their lives. This means building care plans that reflect cultural norms, language preferences, dietary needs, and family dynamics—critical factors in addressing the social determinants of health.

This AAPI Heritage Month, we celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of AAPI communities—and reaffirm our commitment to delivering care that respects every individual’s lived experience.

Because cultural competence isn’t a checkbox.
It’s the foundation of health equity. 💙

At PCIC, we believe that caring for mental health is just as vital as caring for physical health. This month, we’re walking the walk—literally and figuratively.

Our team is proud to participate in the 2025 NAMIWalks Greater Houston to honor those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and celebrate every step toward recovery and resilience. 💚

Mental health challenges affect people across all communities—and they require community-wide support. That’s why we’re committed to building care systems that recognize the full person: mind, body, and circumstances.

🧠 Whether it’s through cross-agency collaboration, better data systems, or simply showing up to walk together—we’re here to help make mental health for all a reality.

Join us in spreading awareness, reducing stigma, and walking with purpose!
