"El Centro de Corazón is a shining star for improving the health and well-being of uninsured Houstonians. El Centro de Corazón provides a wonderful example of how to successfully address the lack of access to health services ..."
-Daniel J. Wolterman, CEO, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System
ABOUT EL CENTRO DE CORAZÓN
El Centro de Corazón was founded in June 1994 by Mary Jo May as a
community-based social service organization for East End families, with an initial
focus on early childhood development and mental health services. Under her
leadership, El Centro has grown into a community-based Federally Qualified
Health Center (FQHC) providing primary care, pediatric, prenatal, mental health,
and dental services. El Centro filed for Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
designation and opened its first clinic in 2003. Today El Centro operates five
sites and continues to expand to meet the ever growing needs of the community.
