Residents will have an opportunity to help shape the future of healthcare in the Big Bend region during a Community Town Hall hosted by Big Bend Regional Hospital District on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
The public meeting is scheduled for 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Alpine Public Library and is open to all community members. No RSVP is required.
Organizers say the event is intended to gather local input as new healthcare funding becomes available for rural communities. Community members will be invited to share their perspectives on current needs, service gaps, and priorities for future investment.
According to event information, the town hall will focus on:
Learning about upcoming healthcare funding Discussing local health needs Sharing ideas on how resources should be prioritized
The meeting is part of an effort to ensure that future healthcare services reflect the needs of people who live in the region.
Funding for the initiative is supported through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a federal program aimed at strengthening rural healthcare systems.
Hospital district officials say public participation will play a key role in guiding how new resources are used, particularly in remote areas where access to care can be limited.
The town hall is open to all residents, and community members are encouraged to attend and contribute to the discussion.
