Partner agencies include Jefferson County Health Department (Primary Care), TAN (Primary Care for underinsured), Legacy (Primary care for uninsured/underinsured), DentaQuest (Dental Services), Community Health Choices (Medicaid/CHIP), UTMB (Women’s Services), ANWEP (Blood pressure/Blood sugar screening), 100 Black Men – Greater Beaumont, and an Affordable Care Act representative.

About Beaumont Public Health: The mission of the Public Health Department is to promote healthy lifestyles, prevent diseases and protect the health of our community. Public health professionals try to prevent problems from happening or recurring through implementing educational programs, recommending policies, administering services and conducting research—in contrast to clinical professionals like doctors and nurses, who focus primarily on treating individuals after they become sick or injured. Overall, the public health department is concerned with protecting the health of the entire community.
