    Vecino Health Care Center is a nonprofit organization in Houston, Texas, providing low-cost healthcare services to underserved communities. Among their critical offerings is prenatal care for Spanish-speaking expectant mothers. A population that often faces barriers to accessing timely medical support. Despite the importance of these services, Vecino was struggling with low awareness and underbooked prenatal appointments.
