It was started by Catholic Nun's with the support of the Diocese of Brownsville, and is still in existence today. One of the founding sisters was Sr. Anne, who is a parishoner of St. Pius X. Another parishoner, Nancy Sandrock, is the Executive Director and the only Certified Nurse-Midwife working at Holy Family. Nancy was hired this past year to continue the work of the sisters, most of whom have now retired. Holy Family Services is a medical clinic and also the oldest Free Standing Birth Center in the Rio Grande Valley, licensed by the state of Texas. Services offered include free pregnancy testing; prenatal care for pregnant women, with birth at the Birth Center or at Knapp Medical Center; appointments for cancer screening or female problems; STD/STI screening and treatment for men and women.
