This year’s event will be held at PSJA College High School, at 805 West Ridge Road in San Juan. Among the services that will be offered this year at the highly popular community event will be COVID-19 vaccinations; school-required immunizations for children; screenings for diabetes, hearing, vision and blood pressure; sports physicals; dental and eye services.

“I’m happy to announce that this multi-agency event that is so important to so many families in Hidalgo County is returning,” said Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez. “Not only is it an opportunity to provide important medical services for our residents, but it is used as an emergency preparedness exercise to help us prepare for disasters.”
