San José Clinic's mission is to provide healing through quality healthcare and education with respect and compassion for those with limited access to care. It is a critical part of the healthcare safety net in Greater Houston. Serving those who are uninsured and uninsurable, the Clinic is a leading provider of quality primary, specialty, behavioral, dental, and pharmacy services for individuals and families who struggle the most with accessing care. Responding to the rising rate of infant mortality in the Mexican community of Houston, in 1922, Monsignor George T. Walsh appealed to the Charity Guild of Catholic Women to establish a free clinic to serve the health needs of the poor. From humble beginnings, San José Clinic has grown into a health home for thousands of Houstonians in need. One hundred-one years later, it proudly upholds the legacy of its founders by continuing to provide healthcare for those who need it most. San José Clinic is a 501(c)(3), a United Way partner, a Texas Medical Center institution, and a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
