Who We See in Victoria
Victoria is the regional center for a seven-county area of farms, ranches, and petrochemical and plastics plants along the coast. Many of our patients work long industrial shifts or run family agricultural operations, and they need care that fits a schedule that doesn’t stop for a two-hour drive each way.
We also see students and staff at the University of Houston–Victoria and Victoria College, healthcare workers at the city’s hospitals, and families in small towns like Cuero, Edna and Goliad. People often tell us they’d been managing anxiety, depression or sleep problems on their own for years because the nearest open appointment was months away.
