EDINBURG, TX – The health and safety of our patients, employees and community is our top priority. The vaccine remains the best line of defense against severe illness due to COVID-19.

DHR Health announced that it will implement a COVID-19 vaccination requirement of all employees, unless they have an approved exemption.

We understand there may be employees who cannot get vaccinated because of medical issues or religious beliefs, and DHR Health has policies in place to address these situations on an individual basis.
