Here for a healthy Texas

Community Health Choice is a local, nonprofit, managed care organization committed to helping improve the health and well-being for Texas residents. Launched in 1997 by Harris Health System, our region’s public academic healthcare system, we began by offering STAR Medicaid coverage to low-income children. Today, we proudly offer a complete array of affordable and no-cost health insurance plans, along with one of the largest provider networks in southeast Texas.

Our Mission Statement

To improve the health and well-being of all Texans, particularly the underserved, by opening doors to healthcare and health-related services.

Our Culture Statement

We empower and equip all employees to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our members and our community, at large, by fostering a workplace environment of mutual trust, transparency, inclusivity, innovation, accountability, and compassion for everyone by everyone.

Our Core Values

Our team members are trustworthy, caring individuals who are collaborative with our Members, Providers, and community partners. We are innovative and display accountability as we serve Members and the community.

Our local Community advantage

Our teams live and work right here. We understand the challenges our residents and Members face. And because we take the health and well-being of our entire region to heart, we proudly share a wealth of knowledge, special programs, care management, and valuable community resources like no one else can. Community cares.
