Waco Family Medicine was established in 1969 by the McLennan County Medical Society to address a shortage of doctors, lack of primary care access for low-income community members, and economic development issues in Waco. The center was developed from a coalition of business, political, and medical leaders pulling together to solve these community problems.
Through the Waco Family Medicine Residency Program, housed at WFM Central site, we train some of the region’s best family physicians with an emphasis on compassion and culturally-sensitive care.
Our mission: To improve the health and wellness of the underserved residents of the Heart of Texas by providing effective access to high quality comprehensive primary care and an exemplary training environment for tomorrow’s family physicians and other health care professionals.
