With Gratitude to Those Who Served

Every year, we observe Veterans Day to recognize those who have served our nation as part of our armed forces. We honor these individuals for their sacrifice and devotion, here at Legacy and across the country.

Featured here are a few of the many veterans who contribute to Legacy's mission:

Joseph Mayers, United States Army - "This day is a day to reflect on the current serving military members and the sacrifice their families make while a service member is away from home."

Melody Gray, United States Air Force - "As the daughter of a World War II Veteran, I felt so proud to serve my country. I joined the Air Force from 1983 and served overseas at RAF Bentwaters and Travis AFB in California as an Air Cargo Specialist until 1988. I achieved the rank of Sergeant and received the Meritorious Service Medal for Outstanding Noncombat Meritorious Service in 1987. I am a fierce advocate for Veteran's rights and protections and champion legislation and public support for veterans and their families."

Nelson Matute, Texas State Guard - "This day reminds me of the value of serving my community, the State of Texas and my country with purpose, dedication and selflessness, giving others the chance to be free."

Oliver Peralta, United States Army - "Veterans Day is important to me because it's a time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who've served in our armed forces. Their commitment to protecting our freedoms and way of life deserves our deepest respect and gratitude - not just today, butt every day."

Wanda Johnson, United States Army - "It was an honor to serve my country."

🎉 AmistadesHTX Turns 5!

Last September, we celebrated five incredible years of AmistadesHTX, a community group founded by Legacy’s own Miguel Jacquez, HIV Navigation Specialist. What started as a small gathering has grown into a vibrant movement promoting sexual health, Latinx pride, and connection across Houston.

🩺 September was Sexual Health Awareness Month, and AmistadesHTX is here to remind you: Getting tested is self-care. It’s about protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

Want to hear more about AmistadesHTX and Miguel’s journey? Check out these recent interviews:

👏 Huge thanks to KPRC 2 Houston, Univision Houston, and of course Miguel for leading with heart and creating a space where culture and care come together. And during Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re especially proud to celebrate the impact of Latinx voices in public health.

💊 Your Health Is Our Priority 💙

Feeling better during an antibiotic treatment? That’s great—but it’s important to finish the full course of medication. Stopping early can leave stronger bacteria behind, increasing the risk of resistance and recurring illness.

At Legacy Community Health, we want our patients to feel better for good. If you have any questions about your medication, we’re here to help!

CEO Dean Munn and his team have been out in the community with their mobile unit, with anxiety and medication needs as top concerns.
