🎉 It’s AmeriCorps Week! 🎉

Join us as we celebrate the incredible AmeriCorps members who serve our patients and communities every day.

Did you know? Legacy Community Health is home to Texas’s first healthcare–focused AmeriCorps program. What started as a small group has now grown to nearly 70 AmeriCorps members, supporting families through Legacy’s community programs and services. These dedicated members help many patients access primary care each year — from navigating appointments to connecting families with food, housing, and other essential resources.

AmeriCorps members play a vital role in community health. Their service helps people understand their medications, access services, and overcome barriers that can make healthcare hard to navigate.

This year’s AmeriCorps Week theme, “AmeriCorps in Action: Americans Serving America,” perfectly reflects what we see every day in our clinics.

💙 To our AmeriCorps members and alumni: Thank you for serving with heart and helping make healthcare more accessible for everyone. Your dedication makes our communities healthier and stronger.

🕯️✨ World AIDS Day at The DeLUXE Theater ✨🕯️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of remembrance and resilience as we recommitted to ending HIV together.

Legacy has been leading this fight since the early 1980s, and our education, prevention, and treatment programs remain at the heart of our mission.

Highlights from the night included:

🌟 Opening remarks from Legacy's CEO Robert Palussek
🎤 A panel and Q&A Session with HIV Experts
🕯️ A moving candlelight vigil
💉 Free HIV testing and resources
🎶 Inspiring performances and community voices
🎙️ Hosted by the incredible Ernie Manouse

We were honored to accept a proclamation from Mayor John Whitmire, officially recognizing World AIDS Day in Houston.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners—Houston Health Department, Allies In Hope Houston, Harris County Public Health, The T.R.U.T.H. Project, The Missouri City TX Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, and The Normal Anomaly Inc.—and to everyone who attended, performed, and shared their voices.

Together, we honor those we’ve lost, support those living with HIV, and continue working toward a future free of stigma.

12/01/2025

We look forward to seeing everyone tonight to honor those we've lost, celebrate resilience, and renew our commitment to end HIV.

Legacy’s Commitment to Ending the Epidemic:

Legacy Community Health’s history is deeply rooted in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Founded in 1978 as the Montrose Clinic, Legacy began providing HIV testing and treatment in the early 1980s—long before many health systems recognized the scale of the epidemic. Over the past four decades, Legacy has grown to become the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Texas, but its mission to provide compassionate, stigma-free care for people living with HIV/AIDS remains at its core.

Today, Legacy offers free and confidential HIV testing, PrEP and PEP access, long-acting injectable treatments, and culturally affirming programs that empower the communities most affected by the disease. Legacy’s comprehensive approach includes medical care, counseling, and support services that promote prevention, education, and connection to care.

One example of this commitment is AmistadesHTX, a Legacy program designed to empower Houston’s Latino/a/x community through education, prevention, and inclusion. AmistadesHTX provides free HIV testing, linkage to PrEP, and community-building initiatives such as the Café con Leche discussion group and the Como Soy / As I Am storytelling campaign. These initiatives open culturally-sensitive conversations around sexual health, mental well-being, and stigma reduction.

Through efforts like AmistadesHTX and Legacy’s extensive network of community partnerships, thousands of Houstonians each year receive the care, resources, and encouragement they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.

A Call to Awareness and Action

Recent data show that Houston-area HIV and STI rates are on the rise. These numbers underscore the urgent need for accessible, affordable, and judgment-free care. Legacy’s ongoing mission—to connect our communities to health every day, in every way—remains vital in combating the growing public health challenge.

This World AIDS Day, Legacy calls on the Houston community to join in reflection, solidarity, and renewed commitment to health equity. Together, we can honor the past, uplift the present, and shape a healthier future.

Legacy's World AIDS Day 2025 hosted by Ernie Manouse
