💙 Black Maternal Health Week may have passed but the work and the conversation must continue.

Black mothers continue to face higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth, often due to systemic barriers inside healthcare itself and awareness remains critical year round.

Recently, the Defender Network highlighted this ongoing crisis and the voices working to address it, including Dr. Erica Giwa, Medical Director of OB/GYN at Legacy Community Health. Dr. Giwa continues to advocate for safer, more responsive care for Black mothers across Houston, reminding us that most pregnancy related deaths are preventable when concerns are heard and acted on early.

At Legacy, this work shows up through prenatal navigation, postpartum support, and care models designed to stay with mothers before, during, and after pregnancy, especially during the often overlooked postpartum period.

If you missed Black Maternal Health Week coverage, this is a meaningful moment to pause, reflect, and learn more about what’s happening and what’s possible.

💭 Diabetes and kidney health are more connected than many people realize.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease, and kidney damage can develop slowly, often without clear symptoms at first. Many people don’t realize there’s an issue until the kidneys are already under strain.

Learning about this connection can help people take steps earlier — like managing blood sugar, keeping up with routine lab work, and having regular conversations with their care team about kidney health. Small, consistent actions can make a difference over time.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at why diabetes affects the kidneys, what to watch for, and how staying informed can support long term health.

💙🎉 Thank you for celebrating with us in Pasadena!

Legacy Community Health is grateful to everyone who joined us for the grand opening of the Legacy Pasadena Southmore Clinic. It was a special day filled with community, connection, and excitement as we officially opened a space designed to serve Pasadena families for many years to come.

The celebration brought together neighbors, community leaders, partners, and Legacy team members to mark the opening of a new two-story clinic offering primary care for adults and children, OB/GYN, behavioral health, imaging, and supportive services, all in one place.

This clinic is the result of planning, collaboration, and a transformative partnership with Houston Methodist, including a historic investment supporting new health facilities in both Pasadena and Acres Homes.

Legacy Pasadena Southmore represents more than a new building. It reflects Legacy’s commitment to expanding access to affordable, compassionate care and meeting people where they are, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. Thanks to strong partnerships and years of planning, Pasadena now has a new healthcare home built with the community in mind.

We’re thankful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible and to those who came out to celebrate with us. We’re excited to begin welcoming patients and continuing to care for families across Pasadena.

💙 We look forward to seeing you at the clinic and continuing to grow together as a community.

💙 Screening saves lives and it starts with a conversation.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and all month long, Legacy Community Health has been hosting community tabling events in our clinics to talk with patients about colorectal cancer prevention and screening.

Colorectal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the U.S., but when it’s caught early, it’s highly treatable, with survival rates as high as 90%. The challenge is that many people don’t get screened because the disease often shows no early symptoms.

Through our tabling events, Legacy teams are sharing information, answering questions, and helping eligible patients access no cost at home screening kits, making prevention easier and more accessible.

📍 Our final tabling event takes place today, March 31, 2026, at Legacy Baytown Garth.
If you’re 45 or older, or just want to learn more about screening options, this is a simple step that can make a big difference for your health.
