💙✨ A friendly face can make all the difference.

Today we’re spotlighting our Legacy Montrose Front Desk team. These are often the first smiles our patients see and the people who help set the tone for every visit.

Health Beyond Care isn’t just about what happens in an exam room. It’s about being welcomed, listened to, and supported from the moment you walk through the door. Our front desk teams play a big role in making that happen every single day.

💙 Thank you to our Montrose staff for the care, kindness, and connection you bring to our community.

💙💊 Behind every prescription is a team committed to your care.

More than 230 members of Legacy Community Health’s Pharmacy team joined our 2026 Pharmacy Retreat, a day focused on connection, teamwork, and improving how we serve our patients.

The retreat centered on making care more accessible and affordable, strengthening teamwork across clinics, and finding better ways to remove barriers that can make getting medications hard. Every conversation came back to one goal: making sure patients get the medications and support they need to stay healthy.

Our pharmacy teams also spent time problem solving around patient experience, access to care, and how to continue delivering high quality service across our communities. The day included team building activities, appreciation moments, and celebrating the people who make this work possible, including recognizing Juan Damian, the first recipient of Legacy’s Pharmacy Pillar Award.

At Legacy, we know that great care doesn’t happen by accident. It takes teamwork, dedication, and people who care deeply about the communities they serve.

💙 When you pick up a prescription at Legacy, you’re supported by a team that’s focused on you.

💙🧠 You’re not alone and support is available.

If you’re a new or expecting mom, Maternal Mental Health Day is a reminder that emotional and mental health changes during pregnancy and after birth are common and nothing to feel ashamed of. Many new mothers experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), which can show up as sadness, worry, irritability, feeling disconnected, or simply feeling overwhelmed. These experiences are real, and they are treatable with the right support.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as prenatal or postpartum checkups. Support can help ease symptoms, strengthen bonding, and improve well-being for both you and your baby and getting help early can make a meaningful difference.

For many new moms, finding time for care can feel impossible. That’s where telehealth can help. Virtual mental health visits allow you to talk with a licensed professional from home, during nap time, between feedings, or whenever it works best for you, without travel, childcare, or added stress.

Telehealth support may help with:

✨ Postpartum anxiety or depression
✨ Mood changes, stress, or emotional overload
✨ Feeling disconnected, exhausted, or unsure
✨ Mental health support for the whole family, when needed

If you’ve been wondering whether what you’re feeling is “normal,” or if you’ve been putting your own needs last, this is your reminder that help is meant for you too.

💙 Health Beyond Care means showing up for our community together, wherever health happens.

Legacy Community Health was proud to be part of two community events over one weekend that brought people together around wellness, connection, and prevention: Black Men’s Wellness Day 2026 in Houston and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Health Fair in Missouri City.

At both events, our Legacy Pharmacy teams and AmeriCorps Pharmacy Advocates connected with neighbors and families to share health resources, answer medication questions, and provide blood pressure and blood glucose screenings. These moments created space not just for check ins, but for meaningful conversations about staying healthy in everyday life.

Community members also received Legacy tote bags filled with practical tools to support health at home, including pill boxes, medication disposal bags, stress balls, hot and cold packs, small first aid kits, and educational materials. We also shared information about Legacy’s clinics, pharmacy services, and the upcoming Legacy Acres Homes clinic, bringing more care closer to home.

These events were about more than appointments or prescriptions. They were about education, movement, connection, and prevention with marathons, Zumba classes, music, and shared moments that reminded us how powerful community based care can be.

Thank you to the organizers of Black Men’s Wellness Day and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority for creating welcoming spaces for learning and connection, and to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and took steps toward caring for their health.

💙 We’re grateful to be part of a community that looks out for one another, inside and outside the clinic.

🧠💙 Have you noticed your child feeling more anxious, withdrawn, or overwhelmed lately?

Kids experience stress, big emotions, and behavioral changes just like adults do and when those feelings go unaddressed, they can impact school, relationships, and confidence over time. Supporting children’s mental health early helps build resilience, coping skills, and emotional balance that last well beyond childhood.

Here are a few ways families can support children’s mental well-being at home and in daily life:

✨ Keep routines consistent whenever possible, predictability helps kids feel safe and grounded.
✨ Encourage movement and play, which can reduce stress and support emotional regulation.
✨ Create space to talk, even short check ins help kids feel heard without pressure.
✨ Notice changes in mood, sleep, focus, or behavior that last more than a few weeks.
✨ Ask for support early, mental health concerns are easier to manage when addressed sooner.

Support doesn’t only happen at home. Access to care matters, too. Pediatric behavioral health services, including telehealth visits, can help families connect with licensed professionals when in person appointments feel hard to manage due to schedules, transportation, or childcare needs.

Mental health is also strengthened through connection and community. Shared activities, time outdoors, and opportunities to move and decompress together, like community events, can play a meaningful role in reducing stress and supporting emotional well-being for both kids and parents.

💙 Caring for children’s mental health takes many forms, and support is available when you need it.

💙 Black Maternal Health Week may have passed but the work and the conversation must continue.

Black mothers continue to face higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth, often due to systemic barriers inside healthcare itself and awareness remains critical year round.

Recently, the Defender Network highlighted this ongoing crisis and the voices working to address it, including Dr. Erica Giwa, Medical Director of OB/GYN at Legacy Community Health. Dr. Giwa continues to advocate for safer, more responsive care for Black mothers across Houston, reminding us that most pregnancy related deaths are preventable when concerns are heard and acted on early.

At Legacy, this work shows up through prenatal navigation, postpartum support, and care models designed to stay with mothers before, during, and after pregnancy, especially during the often overlooked postpartum period.

If you missed Black Maternal Health Week coverage, this is a meaningful moment to pause, reflect, and learn more about what’s happening and what’s possible.

💭 Diabetes and kidney health are more connected than many people realize.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease, and kidney damage can develop slowly, often without clear symptoms at first. Many people don’t realize there’s an issue until the kidneys are already under strain.

Learning about this connection can help people take steps earlier — like managing blood sugar, keeping up with routine lab work, and having regular conversations with their care team about kidney health. Small, consistent actions can make a difference over time.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at why diabetes affects the kidneys, what to watch for, and how staying informed can support long term health.

💙🎉 Thank you for celebrating with us in Pasadena!

Legacy Community Health is grateful to everyone who joined us for the grand opening of the Legacy Pasadena Southmore Clinic. It was a special day filled with community, connection, and excitement as we officially opened a space designed to serve Pasadena families for many years to come.

The celebration brought together neighbors, community leaders, partners, and Legacy team members to mark the opening of a new two-story clinic offering primary care for adults and children, OB/GYN, behavioral health, imaging, and supportive services, all in one place.

This clinic is the result of planning, collaboration, and a transformative partnership with Houston Methodist, including a historic investment supporting new health facilities in both Pasadena and Acres Homes.

Legacy Pasadena Southmore represents more than a new building. It reflects Legacy’s commitment to expanding access to affordable, compassionate care and meeting people where they are, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. Thanks to strong partnerships and years of planning, Pasadena now has a new healthcare home built with the community in mind.

We’re thankful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible and to those who came out to celebrate with us. We’re excited to begin welcoming patients and continuing to care for families across Pasadena.

💙 We look forward to seeing you at the clinic and continuing to grow together as a community.

🍼💙 Protecting your baby starts with knowing what to look for.

Cases of congenital syphilis are increasing, but the condition is preventable with early testing and proper care during pregnancy. When syphilis is identified and treated early, it can help protect both parent and baby from serious health complications.

Our latest blog explains what congenital syphilis is, how it can be passed from parent to baby, and why routine prenatal screening and follow up care are so important. It also shares what expecting parents can do to protect their pregnancy and where to find support.

At Legacy Community Health, we’re committed to making sure families get clear information and compassionate prenatal care, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

💙 Black maternal health is a crisis, and it’s one our community cannot ignore.

At Legacy Community Health, our OB/GYN teams see firsthand how deeply the Black maternal health crisis affects mothers, babies, and families across Houston. In Harris County, Black mothers continue to face the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, and most pregnancy related deaths are preventable.

Dr. Erica Giwa, Medical Director of OB/GYN at Legacy, often emphasizes that improving maternal health starts with examining how care is delivered. Too often, symptoms can be overlooked or concerns not addressed quickly enough, which why Legacy’s approach to maternal care is built around listening, acting early, and staying connected before, during, and after pregnancy.

From prenatal navigation and postpartum checks to extra support for higher risk patients, Legacy teams work to make sure no mother falls through the cracks, especially during the postpartum period, when risks can remain high.

During Black Maternal Health Week, we’re sharing what Legacy wants you to know: safe, respectful, and responsive care saves lives, and it should be accessible to everyone.

💻🧠 Working from home has its benefits, but it can also impact your health.

A recent Defender Network article features Wellness Manager, Felicia Sexton White, who shares important insights on the hidden health risks that can come with remote work. From increased stress and isolation to long hours of sitting and blurred work life boundaries, these challenges can affect both physical and mental well being over time.

Felicia encourages remote workers to stay mindful of their health by building routines that include movement, connection, and regular check ins with themselves and their care teams, even when the office is at home.

We’re thankful to the Defender Network for continuing to highlight conversations that help our community stay informed and supported.
