Texas Public Health Region 6/5 South

This page provides information about Texas Public Health Region 6/5 South.

Southeast Texas

DSHS Southeast Texas Public Health Region (PHR) 6/5S ranges from small, rural towns to the Houston metro area. The region is also home to Galveston Bay, the seventh-largest estuary in the country. DSHS Seafood and Aquatic Life Unit regularly tests water and seafood in the bay and along the Gulf Coast.

There are more than 140 languages spoken in Southeast Texas. This can make communication a challenge. To help, DSHS Southeast Texas developed printed materials with images instead of words. This allows people to communicate no matter their language or ability. In an emergency, these visual aids allow responders to better help everyone.
