The Clinic’s Story

Origins and Early Years The clinic’s building in Mt. Enterprise, Texas, had served the community for many years, including as a pharmacy with a soda fountain in the 1950s, before becoming a health facility. In 1996, the site became a clinic under a hospital system that later ceased operations. Community-Led Launch In 2003, Cheryl Rowell, FNP-C, and Brandy Moore, along with local community members, ensured the clinic remained open, founding the Mt. Enterprise Community Health Clinic to continue serving patients five days a week. FQHC Designation and Growth By 2008, the clinic achieved Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) designation, making it eligible for federal support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and expanded services. Services grew over time to include dental care and behavioral health services. Alongside the original Mount Enterprise site, the organization expanded to additional locations, with clinics in Henderson and, later, in Palestine, as part of its service network. Rebranding and Current Identity In 2015, Mt. Enterprise Community Health Clinic and the Rusk County Community Health Center were unified under the name Crossroads Family Care to better reflect the organization’s cohesive identity. Today, as Crossroads Family Care, the FQHC provides primary care, dental, behavioral health, and women’s health services to thousands of patients annually, focusing on accessible, affordable healthcare for all ages. Organizational Facts The clinic is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 2003.
