Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the nation, and Harris County is delivering access where it is needed most. We joined Harris Health to break ground on a new health center in Alief that will bring care closer to families across southwest Houston. The historic bond voters approved in 2023 made this possible, and we’re putting it to work for the families who need it most. For families in southwest Houston, quality care will soon be right around the corner.
