Community Outreach Updates

10th Annual Healthy Lives Matter Prostate Screening Event

On February 24, JPS team members participated in a prostate screening event hosted by Commissioner Roy Charles Brooks. The event provided men and their families with health resources, support services, and education on early cancer detection. The event also provided an opportunity for men to receive free prostate exams, made possible by the partnership with JPS Health Network and Moncrief Cancer Institute.

Community Health Fair

The Hispanic Wellness Coalition expanded its services to residents in Arlington and surrounding areas. The purpose of this event was to provide health resources to Asian residents and community members. On February 24, JPS was on site to provide resources, health education, and information on JPS programs and services. JPS is happy to continue to help support communities in need.

Thank you, JPS team members, for your dedication to Tarrant County.
