March is Mental Health Month!<br />
Director of Legacy’s Behavioral Health department, “Legacy provides comprehensive services and access<br />
to top notch medical care.”<br />
According to Dr. Valdivieso, “There is a huge need in our community for mental health services<br />
not just for those who are uninsured, but also for those with insurance - including Medicaid<br />
and Medicare - and across all age groups. We have a strong department with people who care<br />
about the work that we do, and they care about helping others to lead healthy lives.”<br />
Legacy boasts a Behavioral Health team of 8 therapists and 7 psychiatrists who served over<br />
3,000 adults and children last year. Patients are referred to Legacy from places like Houston’s<br />
LBJ Hospital, as well as from primary care physicians. Many of the pediatric patients seen at<br />
Legacy present with diagnoses on the Autism Spectrum. These children have been previously<br />
under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed. There are 40 to 60 children at any given time on the<br />
waiting list to receive psycho-educational testing to confirm an autism spectrum disorder.<br />
Some of the families in Legacy’s service area are burdened by low socio-economic status, lack<br />
of health insurance, and literacy issues that hinder them from accessing the critical behavioral<br />
healthcare services to obtain the early diagnosis and specialized treatment so crucial to improving<br />
outcomes for the autistic child.<br />
Spring 2013<br />
The early 90s were a scary time for Cassandra. She had no health insurance,<br />
and so she relied on the City of Houston to help her find healthcare. Cassandra was<br />
diagnosed as HIV positive in 1991, and with that came uncertainty, anxiety, and no<br />
small amount of fear.<br />
“My case manager tried to help, but nothing felt right to me,” Cassandra says. “Too<br />
many of the clinics I went to were depressing and uncomfortable. All of the patients<br />
looked sad and hopeless. It got so bad that I refused to go back.”<br />
Finally, in 1992, Cassandra was referred to Legacy Community Health Services<br />
(then known as The Montrose Clinic). There she found the open, welcoming, and nonjudgmental<br />
environment she had always wanted.<br />
“The staff greeted me with handshakes and hugs,” says Cassandra. “People at other clinics were afraid to touch HIV positive patients, but<br />
I didn’t find any of that at Legacy. Everyone was easy to talk to, and they really put my needs first. They connected me with other services, like<br />
outside support groups, that helped me get through some really tough times.”<br />
Legacy’s Eligibility department started the process by setting Cassandra up to receive low cost services, and got her on the right track for<br />
her medications. Maintaining a consistent medication schedule is critical to HIV patients, and Legacy’s partnership with Walgreens means that<br />
Cassandra has a quick and easy way to stay as healthy as possible.<br />
“I’ve made Legacy my home,” Cassandra tells us. “I’ve brought my son, daughter, and grandson into the Legacy family with me. I’m a<br />
recovering addict, and the doctors and support staff kept me afloat, encouraged me not to give up, and have stayed positive throughout my time<br />
here. I can honestly say that Legacy has saved my life in more ways than one.”<br />
Continuity of care is a hallmark of effective primary healthcare because it helps doctors gain insight into their patient’s lives and helps staff<br />
work as more effective patient advocates. Cassandra gives Legacy high marks in this increasingly important category. She knows the doctors<br />
here, many of whom have been with Legacy 20 years or more, and that makes a big difference in her life. Cassandra passes by other low-cost<br />
clinics on her bus ride to Legacy Montrose Campus simply because the medical providers here know her.<br />
“Any time I talk to someone who doesn’t have health insurance, I tell them about Legacy,” says Cassandra. “I tell them about my life before<br />
Legacy, when I couldn’t get the care and medication I badly needed. Then I tell them about my life after Legacy, and how I’ve been able to watch<br />
my grandson grow up thanks to the doctors there. The last thing I tell them is something I’ve said more times than I can remember: The City<br />
of Houston would be lost without Legacy.”<br />
Dr. Jeanette Valdivieso, Medical Director of Behavioral Health,<br />
participates in play-therapy with one of Legacy’s pediatric patients.<br />

Spotlight on Service-Line:<br />
Behavioral Health<br />
In an effort to ‘build healthy communities,’ Legacy offers Behavioral<br />
Health Services facilitated by providers who strive to improve the overall<br />
well-being of each patient they see. Legacy’s behavioral health team helps<br />
relieve symptoms associated with mental disorders through a combination<br />
of assessment, diagnosis and treatment and follow-up, helping patients feel<br />
good about themselves so they can better cope with<br />
challenges of their everyday life. In the<br />
words of Dr. Jeanette Valdivieso, the<br />

From five Houston locations, two<br />
Beaumont campuses, and one Baytown<br />
clinic, Legacy Community Health Services<br />
(Legacy) addresses the healthcare needs of the<br />
uninsured and underinsured across southeast<br />
Texas. Though Legacy has seen great, exciting<br />
change recently, our goal remains the same: to<br />
provide high-quality, compassionate healthcare to<br />
all members of the community in a non-judgmental,<br />
culturally-sensitive manner. And, thanks to our status<br />
as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Legacy is perfectly<br />
positioned to do just that, often at low or no cost.<br />
Approximately 20 percent of all Houstonians live below the poverty line and therefore<br />
do not have access to the healthcare they need. We strive to provide preventative and<br />
primary healthcare to all who need it through affordable health, social, educational, and prevention services. In our most recent<br />
fiscal year, Legacy treated nearly 45,000 patients through 145,041 office visits. In many cases, these patients would have nowhere<br />
else to turn if Legacy did not provide them with essential health services.<br />
Legacy’s roots were planted in Houston/Harris County’s HIV/STD community more than 30 years ago when, as the Montrose<br />
Clinic, we began providing testing and support services to people living with AIDS. Legacy began providing comprehensive HIV/<br />
AIDS primary healthcare services in 1988, and has since become a nationally recognized leader in HIV/AIDS prevention and<br />
treatment. Approximately 25 percent of HIV positive Americans are uninsured—a higher rate than the general public, of whom<br />
about 18.5 percent don’t have insurance—and Legacy serves as the healthcare home for many of these disadvantaged individuals.<br />
From Next Step—our educational program designed for newly diagnosed patients facing a scary and confusing time—to our<br />
primary care and medication services, Legacy offers the full spectrum of care that today’s HIV positive patient requires.<br />
This edition of Legacy’s newsletter will update you on new developments at Legacy, and provide you with a glimpse of some<br />
of the great work being done by our healthcare providers and support staff. This is but a peek behind the scenes, though, a small<br />
glance into what makes Legacy tick on a daily basis. I encourage you to contact giving@legacycommunityhealth.org to learn more<br />
about how Legacy is making a healthy, long-lasting difference in the lives of underprivileged Texans.<br />

Developing Health One Community at a Time<br />
GE constantly works to make the world a<br />
healthierplacebysupplyinghealthcare<br />
technology that saves lives every day.<br />
While one focus they have is to give<br />
healthcare professionals the tools<br />
they need to make better diagnoses<br />
earlier and more accurately, the GE<br />
Foundation also supports efforts to<br />
help improve patients’ lives through the<br />
Developing Health initiative.<br />
Legacy has had the fortune of being the beneficiary of The<br />
GE Foundation’s support for the past two years and has just been<br />
awarded support through 2014. GE’s total commitment to<br />
Legacy totals $850,000 in direct support of the under insured and<br />
uninsured communities served by Legacy.<br />
At Legacy Montrose, the GE Foundation supports the Next<br />
Step program which is designed to provide those newly diagnosed<br />
with HIV the information they need to stay healthy. It also provides<br />
each participant with an individual session on understanding their<br />
lab work and any medications that they are prescribed. This<br />
program serves hundreds of patients every year.<br />
“When a person learns that they are HIV positive, their whole<br />
life changes in an instant. Next Step is a multi-faceted program,<br />
From the Board Chair<br />
bringing a client compassion, education, guidance and hope where there was once despair. As quoted from a client’s comments, ‘You gave me the<br />
gift of making myself whole again,’” said Barbara Walker, Client Care Coordinator and long-time Next Step instructor.<br />
Legacy’s goal is to promote not only education, but provide resources and strengthen families through a wide range of services offered at our<br />
clinics. At Legacy Southwest, the GE Foundation supports Family Life, which is a compilation of trainings and classes that help Legacy’s immigrant<br />
patient population become more familiar with the skills necessary to help their families. Family Life includes nutrition and cooking classes that<br />
provide ideas for making healthier food choices and preparing healthier foods for their families, Diabetes education, English as a second language,<br />
computer skills, Healthy Moms-Healthy Baby classes, prenatal health classes, and car seat safety training.<br />

Mint Julep 2013 - July 20, 2013 - at Rich’s,<br />
Doors open at 2pm Show starts 3pm<br />
Eleven years ago two employees had a casual conversation about<br />
raising money for Legacy’s HIV/AIDS services. Start with some<br />
sequins, add big eye lashes, a spotlight and a stage, and it is now<br />
a legendary LGBT event in Houston. The show features some<br />
of the top performers from the LGBT community and recognizes<br />
LGBT leaders with the honorary title of Miss, Ms. & Mr. Mint<br />
Julep before a crowd of over 300 people. Proceeds go to<br />
Legacy’s comprehensive HIV education and support services<br />
and specialized programs.<br />
