🌀 When #HurricaneBeryl hit, DSHS was there every step of the way. We activated 90 DSHS emergency response staff to facilitate patient evacuations and support medical sheltering. Hundreds of additional public health responders continue to work around the clock to ensure the health care systems and patients are supported as Texas communities in Beryl's wake recover. #texas #publichealth #emergencyresponse #emergency

Welcome to the first post in our Passport through Texas series! Join us as we explore the eight public health regions (PHRs) in Texas 🤠 PHRs are the local presence of DSHS and work in communities to serve the public health needs of Texas, help screen Texans for diseases and connect them to needed services, and provide medical response during public health and weather emergencies. Our first stop takes us to PHR 4/5N in East Texas. This PHR includes 35 counties and 175 DSHS employees who proudly serve y'all. Better known as the Piney Woods, this region is home to three of the state's five national forests 🌲 Did you know Tyler, Texas was the first-ever headquarters of a PHR? It was established in 1970 as part of what was then called the Texas Department of Health. Tyler is also famous for its agricultural production. That includes meat processing facilities that DSHS inspects. Our inspectors make sure products come from healthy animals that are humanely slaughtered in a sanitary environment. Join us all year long as we share more facts about our PHRs and public health in Texas. #texas #publichealth
