The Southern Texas Chapter serves the Greater Houston and Texas gulf coast region, including Beaumont-Port Arthur, Bryan-College Station, Corpus Christi, Greater Houston, and McAllen-Brownsville-Harlingen. We provide education, support, and advocacy programs to people living with IBD and those who care for them. We connect you to local resources and offer you opportunities to become involved with the IBD community through events, volunteering, our summer camps, and more.
