BMS removes that fear. Whether our patients are insured or uninsured, we are here. We don't turn anyone away.

Losing access to insurance doesn't mean losing access to care. It means our team steps in. It means our Community Health Workers—many of whom were once patients themselves—show up and say: "We've got you.

Everyone deserves to feel cared for. At BMS, you can receive the support you need, with or without insurance

In Loving Memory of Paul Chandler BMS Board Chairman, 1991-2023

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Paul Chandler—a giant whose legacy is woven into the very fabric of our mission and the Brownsville community.

For 32 years, Paul served with unwavering dedication. In the early 1970s, when our community faced healthcare crises, he didn't see statistics—he saw neighbors. He didn't see problems—he saw possibilities.

Paul helped build the foundation of BMS Family Health and Wellness Centers. Every patient we serve stands on the foundation he built with his own hands and heart. He showed us that real leadership is measured in sacrifice and that lasting change comes from unwavering conviction in the dignity of every person.

Rest in power, Mr. Chairman. Learn more about Paul's legacy: https://www.bmsfamilyhealth.org/paulchandler
