North Heights is a recognized City of Amarillo neighborhood-plan area, not a marketing label. Its published plan foregrounds strong neighborhoods, economic development and transportation, while the City’s current page points residents to a boundary map and identifies crosswalk and streetlight projects. Nearby citywide public recreation options can be selected by address and current facility details rather than assuming that services or amenities fall within the plan boundary.

Visit official resource →Thompson Memorial Park
In-city public park at NW 24th Avenue and Dumas Drive. The City lists a disc-golf course, playgrounds, an athletic court and restrooms; reservation times and event use should be checked before travel.
Visit official resource →Charles E. Warford Activity Center

Visit official resource →How telehealth fits a local routine
Luma Health provides online medical weight-management evaluations to eligible Texas adults. Virtual care can reduce travel time and make follow-up easier to coordinate around work, family, school, and commuting. It does not replace emergency care, preventive primary care, or an in-person evaluation when a clinician determines one is necessary.
Provider-guided care from home
Submitting an assessment does not guarantee treatment or a prescription. A licensed clinician reviews each patient's medical history and determines whether treatment is appropriate.
Check eligibility →Build a sustainable weekly plan
Start with one realistic activity route, one reliable grocery stop, and one repeatable meal or movement habit. Consistency is usually easier when the plan fits the neighborhood and schedule a person already has. Discuss significant changes in activity, diet, or medication with an appropriate healthcare professional.
