On Saturday, November 15^th, the Office of Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX28) will host a healthcare information and enrollment event at Mission Speer Memorial Library on 801 E 12^th Street from 9am-3pm.  The event will feature free face-to-face assistance with the healthcare application from navigators in English and Spanish.  Attendees must bring proof of income, a form of identification, proof of residence, and their social security numbers.   

“I represent communities on the border and in South Texas with some of the highest rates of uninsured persons in the country,” said Congressman Cuellar. “Health care costs can be devastating for those without health insurance. That is why we host information and enrollment drives throughout the year.  I want to thank the organizations in the Valley that are doing excellent work to make healthcare more accessible, including Nuestra Clinica del Valle, South Texas Health System, Cognosante, MHP Salud, VAIL, Access Esperanza, and Enroll America”
