💙🥦🩺 Helping kids with diabetes build healthy habits that last.

As seasons shift, it’s a great time for families to refocus on everyday routines that support children living with diabetes. Nutrition and kidney health work hand in hand, helping kids keep blood sugar steady, feel energized, and support their growing bodies.

Healthy food choices don’t just fuel play and learning. They also help protect the kidneys, which work hard every day to keep the body in balance, especially important for children managing diabetes.

🌟 Simple, kid‑friendly habits that make a difference:

• Choosing colorful fruits and vegetables
• Drinking water throughout the day
• Staying active through play and movement they enjoy
• Building balanced meals and snacks
• Keeping up with regular checkups and screenings

At Legacy, our pediatric teams partner with families to create routines that fit real life, supporting diabetes management while still letting kids be kids.

💛 With the right support, children can grow up feeling confident, healthy, and active all year long.

💙 Screening saves lives and it starts with a conversation.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and all month long, Legacy Community Health has been hosting community tabling events in our clinics to talk with patients about colorectal cancer prevention and screening.

Colorectal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the U.S., but when it’s caught early, it’s highly treatable, with survival rates as high as 90%. The challenge is that many people don’t get screened because the disease often shows no early symptoms.

Through our tabling events, Legacy teams are sharing information, answering questions, and helping eligible patients access no cost at home screening kits, making prevention easier and more accessible.

📍 Our final tabling event takes place today, March 31, 2026, at Legacy Baytown Garth.
If you’re 45 or older, or just want to learn more about screening options, this is a simple step that can make a big difference for your health.

Helping Kids Stay Healthy With Diabetes During Kidney Month and Beyond

Kids living with diabetes work hard every day to stay healthy, and Legacy Community Health is here to support them and their families every step of the way.

March is National Kidney Month, which is an important reminder that caring for diabetes also means caring for kidney health. Kidneys help keep the body balanced, and healthy habits can make a big difference for children managing diabetes.

Healthy habits that support diabetes and kidney health:
• Eating balanced meals and snacks
• Drinking plenty of water
• Staying active and playing every day
• Keeping up with doctor visits and screenings
• Asking questions, our pediatric teams are here to help

Legacy’s pediatric providers offer guidance, education, and care to help families manage diabetes without missing out on the joy of childhood.

You’re not alone, we’re here to help your child stay healthy, confident, and supported all year long.

Seen. Heard. Protected.

During Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting the women who are changing healthcare for the better, including Dr. Erica Giwa, Medical Director of OB/GYN at Legacy.

In Houston, Black mothers face higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth, due to long standing gaps in access, early detection, and timely response within the healthcare system. Dr. Giwa is working to change that by leading with compassion, listening closely, and advocating for care that respects every mother’s voice.

At Legacy, maternal care is about more than appointments, it’s about trust, early support, and making sure moms feel safe every step of the way.

Today and every day, we honor the women shaping the future of maternal health and protecting families across our community.

🎉 It’s AmeriCorps Week! 🎉

Join us as we celebrate the incredible AmeriCorps members who serve our patients and communities every day.

Did you know? Legacy Community Health is home to Texas’s first healthcare–focused AmeriCorps program. What started as a small group has now grown to nearly 70 AmeriCorps members, supporting families through Legacy’s community programs and services. These dedicated members help many patients access primary care each year — from navigating appointments to connecting families with food, housing, and other essential resources.

AmeriCorps members play a vital role in community health. Their service helps people understand their medications, access services, and overcome barriers that can make healthcare hard to navigate.

This year’s AmeriCorps Week theme, “AmeriCorps in Action: Americans Serving America,” perfectly reflects what we see every day in our clinics.

💙 To our AmeriCorps members and alumni: Thank you for serving with heart and helping make healthcare more accessible for everyone. Your dedication makes our communities healthier and stronger.
