Key takeaway New Horizon Health Center has launched its Care Closet to provide patients with essential clothing items.
A new resource has opened in Brownsville to help address the growing need for clothing in the community. New Horizon Health Center has launched its Care Closet to provide patients with essential clothing items. The initiative was sparked by a survey of over 3,000 patients, which revealed that clothing was a top unmet need in the area.
The survey's findings were unexpected, as staff had anticipated that food or transportation would be the primary concerns. Instead, clothing consistently ranked as a major need. Further details about the Care Closet and its services are available from New Horizon Health Center.
