Medical Center Health System opened the
new Center for Primary Care – West University
in September 2014 to meet the needs of
the growing number of families moving
into to West Odessa. As MCHS looked at
healthcare needs for the area, it was clear
that West Odessa residents and businesses
needed convenient access to an eye doctor.
Family Health Clinic Optometry opened in
November 2014 under the leadership
of Dr. Chase Jackson, Board Licensed
Optometric Glaucoma Specialist, who
specializes in primary and secondary
eye health care.
Dr. Jackson is passionate about
helping families take care of their
vision. He and his staff provide eye
exams for all ages including medical
eye exams and exams for glasses and
contact lenses.
In addition to traditional eye exams, Dr.
Jackson also provides state-of-the-art
ocular examinations, diabetic eye care,
and can diagnose and treat glaucoma and
macular degeneration. He also provides
genetic testing at the Family Health Clinic.
Family Health Clinic Optometry has a
full line of eyeglasses in its Eyewear
Boutique along with skilled staff to help
select and fit the right pair of glasses.
The Family Health Clinic is a community-
based healthcare program that operates
in partnership with Medical Center Health
System and offers a wide range of healthcare
services for uninsured and underinsured
individuals in the Permian Basin.

Care – West University, provides care for
the entire family including family
