Don’t fall for Marketplace scams.
If someone asks for your Social Security number, or other personal details like your address, household income, or phone number in exchange for a gift card or other prize it’s a scam.

Your personal information should only be shared with trusted, certified enrollment assisters—like those at your local community health center.

Stay safe. Protect your info.
Visit your local community health center if you were enrolled in a Marketplace plan without your knowledge or consent!

❄️ Winter Wellness for Our Little Ones ❄️
We’re starting to see more and more flu cases in our little kiddos, so this is a great time for a quick reminder on keeping them healthy this winter season.

✨ A few simple steps go a long way:
• Rest: Make sure children are getting plenty of sleep so their immune systems stay strong.
• Hydration: Even in cold weather, kiddos need water throughout the day to stay healthy.
• Handwashing: Encourage frequent handwashing, it's one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs.
• Healthy foods: Fruits, veggies, and balanced meals help support immunity.
• Stay home when sick: Keeping little ones home when they’re not feeling well helps protect other children and families.

Our ETCHS team had the pleasure of attending today’s Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce 1st Friday Luncheon and hearing from Congressman Pete Sessions. We are grateful for his continued support and advocacy for our community and the work being done to improve health and access to care.
