Health & Safety Matter

The Health & Safety Matter Community Solutions Team is comprised of members in the community who are concerned about the health and safety of all our citizens. They envision a Brazos Valley where all residents are confident of their safety and have access to a quality continuum of health care. Their first project has been to create awareness about Emergency/Disaster Preparedness, Telehealth, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, iHealth Records and Fire Prevention and Safety. The Team is now working on 3-Share, a Health Insurance Plan for people who are employed, awareness and enrollment in iHealth, and a Safety Campaign (in the areas of personal, home and driving).
