San Jose Clinic celebrates 100 years of helping people get quality healthcare no matter their income
On the San Jose website, the clinic describes its history from beginning in 1922, in response to the rising rate of infant mortality in the Mexican community of Houston to serve the needs of the poor.

Local clinic spreads holiday cheer with patients with drive-thru party
Santa, Mrs. Claus and all their helpers – decked out in masks — gathered outside Christus Health in Midtown to spread some holiday cheer to the young patients of San Jose Clinic. For 85 years, San Jose Clinic has hosted a Christmas party. This year’s party took place Saturday morning in a drive-thru style due to the pandemic. “Oh, it’s going to be very different this year but can’t disappoint the children at all,” said Mrs. Claus. Santa is helping to put food on the table this Christmas along with presents under the tree.
