Background and Discussion:
Precinct 4 seeks to enter into an agreement with Spring Branch Community Health Center (SBCHC) to provide health education programs and no-cost mammogram screenings at designated community centers.

The partnership supports the County's goals of improving community health outcomes, increasing early detection of chronic conditions, and promoting healthier lifestyles without financial cost to the County.
