You can request lab or test results, or view them at any time, using the Legacy Patient Portal.If you have not already registered for the Patient Portal, request a PIN from our staff on your next visit.

In case of an emergency, please call 911.

We support patients having access to their health information. Beyond the Patient Portal and our Pharmacy RX Local App, we also support the sharing of health information via applications that use an Application Programming Interface (API), which many mobile device applications use. While we have enabled the necessary solutions to receive requests from API applications, we are unaware of any apps having been configured to connect to our data. Our website, LegacyCommunityHealth.com, will be updated when we become aware of any applications that our patients can begin to use.

Legacy has five main locations and a variety of secondary sites across the greater Houston area, including Baytown and Beaumont. In each of these locations, you will find high-quality, affordable health care for the entire family in a confidential, judgement-free environment.

Our volunteer coordinator will call to schedule an interview at which you can talk about your interests, how much time you have and other specifics. A background check is then required for all volunteers. A TB test is required for those interested in volunteering at the clinical level. We hold orientation sessions for all new volunteers to provide information, answer questions, and welcome you to the Legacy family!

We take the well-being of our staff members, volunteers, and patients very seriously, so this process has been implemented to ensure a safe environment for all.

TB tests ensure the safety of our patients as well as your own. You will be required to take a TB test only if you volunteer on the clinical side.

Volunteers at one of our campuses must be at least 18 years old. There may be a way to involve younger family members at some of our special events.

To name just a few: You get to work with some of the most dedicated people in Houston. You will have a positive impact on the families we serve. You get an annual TB test and an awesome t-shirt. We could go on, but the bottom line is that you will help us build a healthy community and have a great time doing it.
