Kristen S. Harris, JD

Welcome to Family Circle of Care! We are happy to serve you and your family at our 6 clinics in Tyler, Jacksonville, and Athens and in the community on our mobile medical clinic.

I am committed to working with our dedicated staff members to make Family Circle of Care the best we can possibly be, serve our patients with warmth and excellence, and treat you the way we would want our families to be treated. Prior to joining Family Circle of Care, I was in private law practice for over 20 years primarily representing health care organizations, schools, and private employers. Throughout that time, I volunteered as a parent-adolescent mediator in a community diversion program; represented victims of domestic violence; represented indigent parents in termination of parental rights cases and incapacitated adults in conservatorship cases; and taught college courses. I realized how much I enjoyed making an impact in people’s lives so it was natural to transition to working in health care organizations that compassionately provide trauma-informed, integrated, culturally competent care to underserved families and communities, and ultimately land in East Texas as the Chief Executive Officer of Family Circle of Care. Family Circle of Care is a special place, with people who genuinely care about the families we serve.

If you are already a patient, I look forward to seeing you at one of our clinics! If you are considering becoming a patient, we welcome you! If you are a health care worker looking for a new professional home, we would love to hear from you! If you are a community member interested in the services we provide, I look forward to meeting you out in the community.
