Hooker County approves courthouse blood pressure station with West Central District Health Department
Summary
The board approved an agreement to place a blood pressure station in the courthouse for public use during business hours after a request from Meghan Trevino, executive director of the West Central District Health Department.
The Hooker County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement June 11 to place a public blood pressure station in the courthouse following a request from Meghan Trevino, executive director of the West Central District Health Department.
Trevino proposed the installation to provide an easily accessible self‑service blood pressure check for residents during courthouse business hours. Chairman Bryan Crisp moved to sign the agreement and Commissioner Julie Kraye seconded; the motion carried on a 3-0 roll call.
Why it matters: The station aims to provide a basic preventive health service for county residents and could increase access to blood pressure monitoring for people who visit county offices. The transcript does not include details on funding, maintenance responsibilities, or the station’s operator; those administrative terms will be handled through the agreement and follow‑up with the health department.
The board recorded no dissent and directed staff to execute the signed agreement.
