This month BCFS is focusing on the importance of safety.  With hurricane season here it is time to begin preparing your family and friends for any potential storms.  BCFS has partnered with the state of Texas to provide shelter for Medical Special Needs individuals in the event of a hurricane.  BCFS was able to successfully provide proper care to those in need during hurricanes Katrina and Rita with the help of people like you. In order to continue to provide the best care we can we need your help this season.  Click here to find out about the different ways you can partner with BCFS.

Be sure to also prepare yourself!  Here are ways for you to get ready:
