💙 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.

With Gratitude to Those Who Served

Every year, we observe Veterans Day to recognize those who have served our nation as part of our armed forces. We honor these individuals for their sacrifice and devotion, here at Legacy and across the country.

Featured here are a few of the many veterans who contribute to Legacy's mission:

Joseph Mayers, United States Army - "This day is a day to reflect on the current serving military members and the sacrifice their families make while a service member is away from home."

Melody Gray, United States Air Force - "As the daughter of a World War II Veteran, I felt so proud to serve my country. I joined the Air Force from 1983 and served overseas at RAF Bentwaters and Travis AFB in California as an Air Cargo Specialist until 1988. I achieved the rank of Sergeant and received the Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Noncombat Meritorious Service in 1987. I am a fierce advocate for Veteran's rights and protections and champion legislation and public support for veterans and their families."

Nelson Matute, Texas State Guard - "This day reminds me of the value of serving my community, the State of Texas and my country with purpose, dedication and selflessness, giving others the chance to be free."

Oliver Peralta, United States Army - "Veterans Day is important to me because it's a time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who've served in our armed forces. Their commitment to protecting our freedoms and way of life deserves our deepest respect and gratitude - not just today, butt every day."

Wanda Johnson, United States Army - "It was an honor to serve my country."
