EDINBURG – Hidalgo County Precinct 4 Commissioner Ellie Torres, in partnership with Driscoll Health Plan, will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to announce the opening of the Health Education and Literacy (HEAL) Program’s Community Connection Center.

The HEAL initiative will provide health education and literacy services AT NO COST to Hidalgo County residents, including immediate supplies and monthly presentations to increase awareness of health topics. The goal of this program is to address social determinants of health by promoting awareness and long-term healthier habits. The initiative will include information on more than 23 health topics for families, expecting mothers and children. The initiative will also connect families to community resources. 

“It brings me great joy to launch this very special program,” said Commissioner Torres. “With Driscoll Health Plan as our community partner, the HEAL’s Community Connection Center will be a one-stop shop for a plethora of health information that will include great programming for the people of San Carlos and beyond.”
