Legacy Community Health Services (Legacy) commemorated its long-anticipated Legacy Acres Homes Clinic on Friday, April 25 with Legacy and Houston Methodist leadership, board members, government officials and community supporters in attendance. Located at 3011 W. Gulf Bank Road, Houston 77008, Legacy’s newest clinic will provide critical health care services designed to meet the unique needs of the Acres Homes community. Legacy Acres Homes is one of two clinic locations funded by a more than $50 million gift from Houston Methodist, including Legacy Pasadena Southmore Clinic.

 

“The Acres Homes clinic is part of a more than 30-year commitment we’ve made to address the health care needs of our community,” said Cathy Easter, senior vice president of community development at Houston Methodist. “We are proud to expand our partnership with Legacy Community Health in Acres Homes. We look forward to deepening ties in this historic and vital community and providing access to quality health care in service of the community.”

 

Legacy Community Health’s newest clinic will deliver health care options to the Acres Homes community and surrounding areas. Services will include adult medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN services, behavioral health and a pharmacy. The Acres Homes clinic will also provide infusion services, bringing critically needed oncology care to the community. Designed by Kirksey Architects, the new two-story clinic will be 26,200 square feet and will be equipped with advanced technology.

 

“Legacy is proud to bring the highest level of quality health care to the Acres Homes community. This has been made possible by the visionary partnership and collaboration that we have developed over many years with Houston Methodist,” said Robert Palussek, Interim CEO and COO of Legacy. “We extend our deepest gratitude to Houston Methodist and their entire team, who share our commitment to making quality health care a reality for all Houstonians.”

 

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tamisha Jones said, “It has been the vision of Legacy for many years, to bring the highest quality health care to one of the oldest and most influential communities in Houston – Acres Homes. Today is a very proud day for Legacy and for Houston.”

 

The Legacy Acres Homes Clinic is expected to open in July 2026 and is the second clinic in the Greater Houston area currently under development as part of Houston Methodist’s more than $50 million contribution. Legacy Pasadena Southmore, which broke ground last year, is expected to open in February 2026.

 

Legacy’s long-standing relationship with Houston Methodist started in 1998. The hospital system has supported Legacy through landmark programs such as the Youth Re-entry Program, the Community Scholars Program, the Community Network of Care Program and Legacy Baytown’s Family Medicine Residency Program.
