LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Operation Border Health Preparedness is on its second day of a week-long event.
For the past 20 years, South Texas cities partner up with the state to offer free medical, dental, and vision services to the community.
The Texas State Guard invites the public to take advantage of the health screenings and services, which include:
- Behavioral health
- Blood pressure screenings
- Diabetes screenings
- General medical exams
- Haircuts
- Hearing screenings
- Immunizations
- Nutrition education
- Social Services
- Sport physicals
- Tobacco cessation education
- Vision screenings
Texas State Guard, Col. Daniel O’Neill commented, “It’s a way for us to integrate with the community and help them in an exercise form but actually delivering care and services to those in need. There’s other sites down in McAllen, Brownsville for example and there are State Guard members there providing similar services to what we have today.”
Anyone interested can go or visit the United South high 9th Grade Campus located on 3819 Aguanieve Drive.
Those wanting services must take a valid form of ID.
