A community resource in the center of Friendswood

Located near the Friendswood Public Library in the downtown area, the facility includes fitness, meeting and multipurpose spaces and regularly hosts special programs and community events.

Bringing several health services into one location gives residents an opportunity to take care of preventive health needs while also learning about resources that may otherwise require separate appointments or visits.
