Animal Summit Recap/Recommendations 03/30/04

La Marque: Officials with the Galveston County Health District are examining ways to improve animal services activities conducted by the District. As part of this effort an Animal Services Summit will be held March 30th at the Wayne Johnson Community Center (Carbide Park), 4102 Main Street, La Marque, in the community room. The Summit will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Those expected to attend the Summit include County and City elected officials, members of the Galveston County United Board of Health, members of the Galveston County Animal Shelter Advisory Committee, and local individuals interested in animal services provided in Galveston County.

The purpose of the Summit is to outline the Health District’s plans to improve existing services within available resources, and to hear community ideas and perspectives regarding the need for short-term or long-term improvements in animal services.

The Health District recently implemented a seven year “Strategic Health Plan” that is designed to make measurable improvements in the health of Galveston County. Priority six of the plan calls for improvements in environmental health. The animal services program at the District is managed by the Environmental Programs department.
