The county's public hospital district doubles its investment in direct health care services in the proposed budget.
Central Health's new proposed budget continues the rollout of a plan to fund more direct services and clinics.
Until recently, Central Health exclusively partnered with other organizations to provide health services. That includes Ascension Texas, which operates Dell Seton Medical Center, the local hospital designated with serving indigent and low-income residents. But as part of Central Health’s, the hospital district will progressively invest in building more clinics and offering more direct health services over the coming years.
“I'm very proud of a whole lot of things in this budget, and I especially want to call out something that's always been very important to me, and that is the medical respite program,” said Ann Kitchen, president of Central Health’s board of managers. “It is incredibly forward-thinking, the approach that Central Health is taking to really tackle what is a very difficult issue in our community, particularly for people of color.
