Individuals can also visit community health centers such as Spring Branch Community Health Center. Its Katy location offers family medicine, pediatric medicine and behavioral health in addition to offering cancer screenings, labs, physicals and vaccinations.
Director of Strategic Partnerships Bruno Gonzalez said that, on top of accepting private insurance, what makes a community health center stand out in the medical industry is that patients pay on a sliding fee scale based on their income and the size of their household.
“A community health center is a service that is available to anyone regardless of their ability to pay,” Gonzalez said.
AccessHealth, which has a location in Brookshire, also offers a variety of services, including family medicine, women’s services, dental care and counseling with fees on a sliding scale.
