Harbor Health Acquires Village Medical Clinics in Houston
Harbor Health, a Texas-based provider of primary and specialty care as well as health insurance, has signed an agreement to acquire 27 Village Medical clinics across Greater Houston. This acquisition expands Harbor's presence into the largest city in Texas ahead of launching individual and family plans for Houston residents on November 1. The move makes Houston the fifth market where Harbor both delivers healthcare services and provides coverage, joining Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and El Paso. The transaction is expected to close by year-end and will nearly double Harbor’s number of physicians and advanced practice providers in Texas while increasing its clinic count to almost 70. The acquired clinics will remain under the Village Medical name but join Harbor's provider network. Patients at these locations do not need to take any action, as services continue uninterrupted. Harbor plans offer no deductibles for members who start with a Harbor clinician and are referred to specialists within its network. Large employer plans are already available in 29 Texas counties including Houston-area ones like Harris and Fort Bend. Individual and family enrollment begins November 1, with coverage effective January 1 of next year.
