Indigent Health Care

The County Indigent Health Care Program (CIHCP) is mandated by the Indigent Health Care and Treatment Act of 1985. The mission of the County Indigent Health Care Department is to provide a quality consumer-sensitive holistic approach to the Health & Human Services to keep pace with the county's growth and an emphasis on education and prevention. Services will be well coordinated, accessible, adequately financed, and effective at helping our citizens gain the maximum degree of personal independence from health and social service systems that they are capable of achieving. A potential client must be a Fort Bend County resident.
