HistoryIn the mid 1990s a group of individuals out of Holy Spirit Catholic Parish saw the intense need to help families falling through the cracks - those who did not qualify for Medicare Medicaid or private insurance. The group got together and began providing free counseling in the back of the church and found physicians who provided pro bono work. The Catholic Diocese of Brownsville donated land in South McAllen and with grants a new facility was built in 2004 where families can get medical, counseling and educational care in one location.SpecialtiesHope Family Health Center is a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization whose mission is to provide quality integrated medical, mental and educational health care services to the uninsured living in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. These holistic services aim to strengthen families, foster personal dignity and empower each person to take responsibility for his or her own well being. Our physicians and medical staff are volunteers who take time out of their schedules to provide care for those in need.
