Central Texas

DSHS Central Texas Public Health Region (PHR) 7 includes 30 counties. The area is about 25,830 square miles, or 16.5 million acres. It has both small towns and big cities, stretching from the Texas Hill County to the prairies. DSHS Central Texas is known for its cultural heritage, natural beauty, and as being home to the state capital. 

DSHS Central Texas works with the eight local health departments. Together, we keep track of community health, help people stay healthier, and respond to public health emergencies. The other 22 counties do not have their own health department, which makes DSHS Central Texas an important resource. Our staff works to keep food safe, stop the spread of disease and connect families with resources.
