Katy’s Christ Clinic expands to meet rising demand
and preventative care, as well as prescription med- ications, lab tests and behavioral health services by volunteer physicians, Mautz said. Another note Recently, the clinic announced a new initiative called Innovative Wellness that allows individuals in the community to care for themselves and others. Located next to Christ Clinic, the Innovative Wellness Center is open to all individuals who purchase a membership and resembles a spa-like environment. A membership includes access to state-of-the- art hyperbaric oxygen chambers, saunas and cold plunges, along with functional medicine such as IV therapy. Additionally, Mautz hopes to o er a few elective surgeries, such as colonoscopies, in the future and plans to expand to 26 treatment rooms in 2026.
A medical clinic with short wait times, no waitlist and low-cost health care can be hard to come by. However, a small clinic in Katy o ers it all to low-income and uninsured individuals. Christ Clinic began in 2000 as a weekly wellness clinic in the gym at Memorial Lutheran Church. Now, the clinic receives around 12,000 visits a year at its new space at The Katy Gardens with 12 treatment rooms, a play area and an area for physical therapy, as well as other modern amenities, Executive Director Lara Mautz said. “Christ Clinic is growing faster than I ever imagined, and I can just feel and know that God is doing something big in this place, and I think it’s going to be far bigger than what any of us envi- sioned,” Mautz said.
