Alvin, Texas, February 18th, 2022 — My Community Health Network is pleased to announce free curbside diabetes screenings. MYCHN is partnering with Coastal Bend Health Education Center at Texas A&M University to bring A1C testing to the Brazoria County Dream Center on Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022. Participants will sign a consent form and wait in their vehicles to receive the results. They will not have to wait for long, as results take approximately seven minutes. The partnership comes at the perfect time. Currently, 1 in 5 adults live with diabetes and are unaware that they have the disease. Early detection is vital to preventing the disease from becoming more severe. MyCHN is grateful to provide accessible diabetes screenings to our community.
“We value our partnership with the Diabetes Education division at Coastal Bend Health Education Center, Texas A&M University and believe the event is a wonderful way to extend services to the community at large with convenient, no cost diabetes screenings,” said Penny Pabst, Community Health Network’s Chief Administrative Officer-Compliance Officer
