Overview
The Health Hub at Bayland Park brings essential healthcare services directly to the Gulfton and Sharpstown communities in southwest Houston. Commissioner Lesley Briones created this partnership between Harris County Precinct 4 and local organizations to address healthcare gaps in these neighborhoods. The hub operates from two locations: Bayland Community Center and Fonteno Senior Education Center. Services include a youth clinic for ages 13-24 offering preventive care and family planning. Walk-in medical services happen twice monthly with no appointment needed, providing wellness exams, cancer screenings, STI testing, and vaccines for all ages. The hub also offers weekly dental care through Harris County Public Health, plus food assistance through La Tiendita program that helps families access SNAP benefits. Case managers connect residents to housing, workforce development, and legal aid resources three days per week. Seniors can access virtual health visits and medical screenings at the Fonteno center. This matters because these southwest Houston neighborhoods have historically lacked nearby healthcare options. The hub removes barriers by offering free services, accepting walk-ins, and providing culturally appropriate care. Residents save time and money by accessing multiple services in one familiar location. To get care, visit Bayland Community Center at 6400 Bissonnet or call 713-274-4353. Most services are free and available during regular business hours Monday through Friday.
