Healthconnect Texas and the Patient Care Intervention Center are moving forward with a strategic unification designed to create a first-of-its-kind, statewide health and community data infrastructure for Texas.

Healthconnect Texas, a nonprofit health information network, has long focused on connecting clinical data across the state to advance interoperability, quality improvement, and better health outcomes. The Patient Care Intervention Center, also a nonprofit, brings deep expertise in community-based data that captures non-medical drivers of health, including social and environmental factors that influence wellness.

By combining their capabilities, the unified organization will link statewide clinical connectivity with community-level insights, creating a more comprehensive picture of health and wellness across Texas. This integrated approach is expected to strengthen decision-making and expand access to actionable data for healthcare providers, community-based organizations, researchers, and policymakers.

The unification is aimed at closing long-standing gaps between clinical care data and community context. With both data streams aligned, the organization will be positioned to deliver integrated solutions that support whole-person care, improve coordination between healthcare and social services, and advance more equitable health outcomes statewide.

Leaders from both organizations have emphasized that the unification reflects a shared commitment to collaboration, community engagement, and data-driven strategies that address health disparities. The combined entity will focus on reducing inequities, strengthening local community leadership, and enabling partners throughout Texas to better understand and respond to the complex factors that shape health and wellness.

Board leadership from both organizations has underscored the significance of the move, noting that the future of health data depends on meaningful connections across sectors, including clinical systems, community organizations, and decision-makers. By integrating their platforms and missions, the unified organization is expected to increase efficiency, expand its reach, and create new opportunities for innovation that benefits communities across the state.

The newly unified organization will operate under a shared mission with enhanced technical capabilities and an integrated operating model that honors the legacy work of both Healthconnect Texas and the Patient Care Intervention Center. Additional joint initiatives and new service offerings are expected to be announced in early 2026.
