Friday, July 26th we hosted our second annual Back to School Block Party! We were happy to continue our partnership with Boynton Chapel Methodist Church for an afternoon of snacks, giveaways and music. K-12 students* received free backpacks, school supplies, snacks and dental kits. Plus, started the school year in good health with vaccines** & $20 sports physicals. Free parking was available at the clinic, and our guests enjoyed an afternoon of fun for the whole family!

* Giveaway items available on a first-come, first-serve basis
** Must bring proof of insurance or sign up for Sliding Fee Discount Program

The UH Health Family Care Center and Office of Government and Community Relations thanks all our guests, sponsors and participants who attended the Jolly Holiday Party. We gave away wrapped gifts to children ages 0 – 18 and holiday meals kits to families! Flu vaccines were available to children 18 years and younger, provided by our dedicated physicians and staff on site. We were delighted to host this party filled with music, fun and games for the whole family.

At the UH Health Family Care Center, physicians and attorneys are coming together with a shared mission: to treat not only the medical conditions of patients, but also the legal and social barriers that can stand in the way of better health.

Thanks to a growing partnership between Blackshear Elementary School and the UH Health Family Care Center, a new privacy banner now shields the school’s front gates—offering students, staff, and families increased safety, dignity, and peace of mind.

This interdisciplinary model of care is the heart of the University’s mission to improve health outcomes and close gaps in access for underserved communities. By uniting students and faculty from medicine, behavioral health, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, social work and other fields, the University is addressing the complex web of factors affecting health.
