Together, we are making healthcare more accessible for everyone.

A huge thank you to the amazing sponsors for helping a record-breaking $400k at the 14th Annual Frank Billingsley Golf Classic yesterday. This event, which began in 2010 with just 10 teams, has grown tremendously, and we couldn’t have achieved this success without the generosity of our incredible sponsors. Your support fuels Legacy’s school-based healthcare in 37 Houston schools, which served 15,860 unique patients and 70,207 completed appointments last year, ensuring students receive the care they need. Thank you for making a lasting impact! https://bit.ly/4f5MqoY #LegacyCommunityHealth #FrankBillingsleyGolfClassic #ThankYouSponsors #SchoolHealth

We understand that navigating Medicare can be overwhelming, which is why we’re offering regular free sessions to outline what you need to know. Our aim is to streamline the plan selection process. Our Medicare provider (or 'eligibility') teams can also support our community in connecting to health services, such as annual physicals, geriatric care, and behavioral health support - all while aiding with Medicare Advantage plan enrollment. With an amazing benefits support team at each of our clinics, and specialist geriatricians who can speak to the unique needs of our 65+ community, Legacy can help our seniors connect to health care, every day and in every way.
