Choose the Right Service

Amistad Community Health Center Hours & Locations

Amistad operates multiple care locations in the Coastal Bend area. Always match the department on your appointment confirmation to the correct address.

Best approach: call the exact clinic or department before traveling, particularly for lab work, dental appointments, behavioral health visits, pediatric sick visits or holiday schedules.

Medical, Dental & Behavioral Health Phone Numbers

If you are unsure where to book, call the main number and explain the care needed. Ask staff to verify the correct clinic location before arranging transportation.

Primary Care: What Amistad Treats

Amistad’s primary care services emphasize routine medical care, prevention and management of ongoing health conditions.

Other services listed by Amistad include HIV testing and treatment, geriatric care and preventive screenings such as cervical, colorectal and breast cancer screening referrals where appropriate.

Before booking: ask whether your specific test or procedure is performed at that location, whether a referral is necessary and whether laboratory or outside-specialist charges are separate.

Pediatric Care & Children’s Appointments

Amistad provides pediatric care for infants, children and teenagers through its Corpus Christi medical locations, including a dedicated Kids Clinic on South Staples Street.

• Routine well-child checkups and medical assessments.
• Childhood health and developmental screening.
• Evaluation of common childhood illnesses.
• Preventive guidance and routine pediatric care.
• Follow-up visits and referrals when needed.

Developmental Screening Forms

Amistad publishes Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) for different childhood ages, including 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 48 months and other intervals. The forms help prepare for certain well-child appointments.

1. Confirm your child’s visit and the correct clinic.
2. Ask whether an ASQ or other developmental questionnaire is needed.
3. Open the official pediatric questionnaire page.
4. Select the questionnaire for the age indicated by the care team.
5. Complete the requested answers and bring or submit the form according to clinic instructions.

Dental Care at Amistad

The dental department at the Brownlee clinic provides preventive examinations, professional cleanings and dental-health evaluation. Its public information also describes personalized treatment planning and guidance for patients with oral-health concerns.

Dental phone: 361-886-3000.

If you need fillings, extractions, dentures, urgent tooth-pain care or another specific procedure, confirm whether the dental team provides that service at your location, what the appointment requires and which charges or insurance limitations apply.

Behavioral Health & Counseling

Amistad’s behavioral health department provides mental-health assessment and treatment services, including counseling and medication-related care.

The official behavioral health page describes substance-use recovery groups meeting twice weekly over an eight-week period. Current session dates, referral requirements and intake eligibility must be confirmed.

Call: 361-886-3065.

Is Amistad Community Health Center Free?

Amistad is not automatically free for every patient. The center accepts insurance and offers a sliding fee scale for qualifying patients without health insurance.

The sliding-fee assessment uses household income and family size according to federal income guidelines. The amount you pay depends on your eligibility and the services provided.

Documents for Sliding-Fee Screening

Amistad’s patient guidance asks uninsured patients to bring:

• Two forms of identification.
• Proof of income, such as a recent income tax return or current paycheck stubs.
• Information needed to determine family or household size.

Ask staff what alternatives are accepted if you do not have a requested document. Do not assume a particular income qualifies for a fixed discount without completing the assessment.

Amistad helps patients understand health coverage and obtain assistance with public-benefit applications and renewals.

Brownlee benefits-assistance hours: Monday and Tuesday, 9 AM–4:30 PM, according to Amistad’s current patient page.

Office: 361-336-2522

Documents for State-Benefit Applications

Program eligibility is determined by the relevant agency, not automatically by visiting the clinic.

• Photo identification.
