Publications
The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District released its inaugural annual report, Building the Foundation for a Healthier San Antonio, in July 2009. The report highlights the department’s programs, services, and accomplishments during FY08. The 16-page publication, which includes a budget snapshot and department contacts, is intended to increase knowledge and awareness of how Metro Health is serving and protecting our community.
The 2009 Metro Health calendar features the winning artwork of 26 local students from elementary to high school level. Their art focused on topics such as oral hygiene, annual health check-ups, food safety, healthy pregnancies, immunizations, hurricane and flood preparation, future dreams and goals, exercise, tobacco prevention and cessation, and nutrition.
