Congressman Al Green Secures $1,000,000 in Federal Funding for Legacy Community Health Clinic to Better Serve Constituents in Need of Healthcare

(Houston, TX) — On Friday, February 3, 2023, Congressman Al Green presented a symbolic check in the amount of $1,000,000 to Legacy Community Health for the upgrade of their electronic medical records software. The upgrade of technology equipment is essential for Legacy to better address the healthcare needs of constituents in the Ninth Congressional District of Texas because it will allow patients to have improved access to their personal health information, including appointment scheduling.

CEO of Legacy Dr. Bobby Hilliard Jr. said, “We cannot thank Congressman Al Green enough for his generous assistance in providing Community Project Funding of $1,000,000 to Legacy to update its Electronic Health Records System. In response to the growing need for primary and preventative health care in the Houston and Fort Bend County area, Legacy Community Health is honored to receive this funding to expand our capacity to serve the community by upgrading our electronic medical records software. These monies will allow Legacy to have a more modern system, which in turn will allow Legacy providers to be more efficient when seeing patients, and also give patients tools and more transparency in managing their own care. Congressman Al Green is addressing this issue head-on and we couldn’t be more appreciative of how he is helping to change the lives of the people he represents.”
