San José Clinic
San José Clinic's mission is to provide quality healthcare and education to those with limited access to such services in an environment that respects the dignity of each person. The original safety-net clinic in Houston, the Clinic is a leading provider of quality healthcare services for individuals and families in the greater Houston area 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. Ninety-five years later, we proudly uphold the legacy of our founders by continuing to provide healthcare for those who need it most. We are a 501(c)(3), a United Way agency, a Texas Medical Center institution, and a ministry of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
