The Hays County Local Health Department is gearing up to provide more services to the rapidly growing Hays County community. The expanded offerings include a larger space in a new building, located at 101 Thermon Drive.
The expansion of the health department, both in terms of services and space, has been a priority for Health Department Director Tammy Crumley for quite a while. “Our new building is much larger and will accommodate our staffing space needs,” she said. “More importantly, the new location allows us to provide more services to the residents of Hays County.”
Crumley said the recent approval of the purchase of the Thermon Drive building by the Hays County Commissioners Court was the last piece of that puzzle. She said the expanded services will include childhood immunizations and adult safety net for uninsured, underinsured and low-income residents as well as STI treatment. Moving into the new building is a three-phased process, Crumley said. “Our Health Equity and Community Engagement Program team relocated to the new building over the past few weeks,” she said. “Staff who don’t see patients directly will be the next to move, followed by those who see patients, including our TB nurse and eligibility screening for indigent services.”
