What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Bee Busy Wellness Center exists to provide increased access to high quality primary care to individuals and families located in Houston communities, addressing health disparities among the underserved, without regard to ability to pay. Patients who access care at one of our facilities often proclaim their treatment as being given from a point of care. Not simply care as in health care, but care as in compassion. Our company core ICARE values, Integrity, Commitment, Accountability, Respect and Excellence, propels the company and staff to treat all people, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, physical, emotional or socio-economic status, to high quality, life-extending care; free from stigma and discrimination; and without regard to ability to pay.
