💙 Childhood obesity is rising — but with early support, families can change a child’s health for life.

At Legacy Community Health, we know raising healthy kids isn’t always easy — and families don’t have to do it alone.

In a recent Telemundo interview, Dr. Iliana Solano, one of our Legacy pediatricians, talks about childhood obesity and why early support, healthy habits, and regular checkups can make a big difference for children and their families. She also shares how Legacy walks alongside parents with guidance, care, and resources every step of the way.

🌟 Celebrating 10 Years of School-Based Health Care! 🌟

We recently joined YES Prep Public Schools to celebrate a decade of partnership and a decade of helping students stay healthy and ready to learn. And with February marking School‑Based Health Care Month, the timing couldn’t have been better to honor this work. 💙

For the past 10 years, our SBHC clinics have helped students get the care they need, right on campus. From checkups and vaccines to behavioral health support and chronic care management, our goal is simple: keep kids healthy, in school, and ready to learn.

By removing barriers like transportation, scheduling challenges, and cost, school-based care makes staying healthy easier for students and families across Houston. 💙

We’re also grateful for the community support that helps fuel this work. Last fall, our Frank Billingsley Golf Classic raised a record-breaking $500,000 to support student health programs, strengthening and expanding services for Houston area youth. ⛳💙 And yes, the next tournament is coming this October, stay tuned!
