About Us

The New Horizon Health Center (NHHC) has more than 200 dedicated employees working to improve the health of our community. The staff includes physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, RN, LVN’s and CMA’s, health education professionals, lab technologists, radiographic technicians, counselors and social workers, and other health care professionals.

The Center’s Board of Directors and entire staff are committed to this mission for every one of our patients. NHHC is a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization serving as a community and migrant health center and has served as the medical home for thousands of low-income and uninsured families in this border community since 1972. New Horizon Health Center was originally established by a volunteer group of local health care professionals and was funded by the city of Brownsville. In 1987, NHHC became an independent non-profit organization.

The relationship between you, your medical provider, and your care team is one of the driving forces behind a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). Our medical providers and staff have committed to expanded roles and responsibilities including a care team that focuses on patient-provider relationships and patient participation in health care decisions.
