Who we are
VCare Clinics is a nonprofit, community-based healthcare organization committed to delivering high-quality primary, dental, and behavioral health care to all, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
Since opening our doors in 2012, we have provided care to more than 350,000 patients through our clinics in Pasadena, Houston, and Carrollton.
Serving families across Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Galveston, Denton, and Dallas Counties, we strive to make healthcare affordable and accessible to the communities that need it most.
Our Mission
At VCare, our mission is clear: to break down barriers to healthcare and ensure that every patient has the opportunity to live a healthier, fuller life.
Our patients are diverse, with many being low-income, uninsured individuals and children. We place a strong focus on preventing and managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, helping patients live longer, healthier lives.
Through trusted partnerships with organizations like MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Houston Eye Institute, and Texas Health and Human Services, we provide free and low-cost programs, including cancer screenings, family planning, Healthy Texas Women, and Title V services for children.
