you can play an important role in helping us meet the goals and objectives of our Strategic Health Plan while providing valuable services to the community.

Some of the many exciting volunteer opportunities with the Health District include:

• Immunizing children and adults to prevent the spread of infectious diseases
• Answering the phone and giving assistance to callers
• Assisting with animal services provided at the Joe Vickery Animal Shelter in Texas City
• Being available to respond in the event of a public health emergency

Our volunteers represent a variety of professions, age groups, and cultural backgrounds. By donating their time to help patients, families, and visitors, they have become and integral part of the Health District’s team.

The Health District’s volunteer program is funded by an innovative Community Impact grant from Mainland
United Way. The new program operates a Community Advisory Committee with representatives from all areas of
the District, including senior organizations.
