Operation Lone Star will be offering vaccines, medical examinations, visual exams and even free dental services.
LAREDO, Tx.- Operation Lone Star came together with the objective of offering health treatments to Laredo and Webb County residents by offering vaccines, medical examinations, vision exams and even free dental services yesterday.
Persons requiring these free services may appear at the Alexander High School, located at 3600 East Del Mar, where people will be attended all week.
The program is carried out by the Texas Department of Health Services with the support from the U.S and Texas National Guard, as well as local health volunteers.
Last year this special operation attended more than 12,000 people in south Texas and now they are expecting even more this year.
In Laredo, where more than 40% of the residents do not have medical insurance, this is a great opportunity to receive free medical attention.
Operation Lone Star also serves as a way of training for state and local officials for medical emergencies.
The setting these clinics in many places for two weeks will become into a real exercise. The clinics will attend the people from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday to Thursday and Friday from 8:00 to 2:00 pm.
This campaign will be held from August 2nd to the 6th in Laredo, Zapata and Rio Grande, Texas. For more information please call (956) 795-4951.
