Dr. Marlen J. Trujillo, CEO and founding board member of the Spring Branch Community Health Center, contributed to a vision to provide affordable health care to vulnerable populations across the Greater Houston area—including those in the Spring and Klein area.
“I think my role has always been, not only being a visionary leader, but a strategic leader that understands the community that we serve,” Trujillo said. “And always wanting to make sure that there was access to affordable health care, in holistic ways.”
SBCHC was founded in 2004 as a means of providing high-quality, low-cost health care to underserved areas of the Spring Branch community. Nearly 20 years later, the organization has nine clinic locations across the Greater Houston area including a mobile clinic, which is available upon request to provide on-site health screenings, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and telemedicine services.
Most recently, SBCHC partnered with Spring-area nonprofit Northwest Assistance Ministries in early 2022, and launched the Northwest Community Health Center to provide pediatric services to Spring- and Klein-area residents in need.
