CHW patients - we want to hear from you!
|
Coastal Health & Wellness recently launched a new patient satisfaction survey, and we want to hear from you!
The survey takes about 5-7 minutes to complete and is anonymous.
When you take a few minutes to tell us more about your experience, it helps us continue to improve our patient care, and your experience, at our CHW Texas City and Galveston clinics. You can complete the survey onsite or following your visit. You'll also notice patient satisfaction survey posters throughout the clinic with a QR code you can scan with your smartphone.

Stay on track with childhood vaccinations
Making sure your child stays on track with their childhood vaccinations is one of the best things you can do to protect them, and your community, from serious diseases.
April 24-30 marks National Infant Immunization Week. Did you know giving children the recommended vaccines by age 2 helps protect them from 14 serious childhood diseases, like whooping cough (pertussis) and measles?
If you’ve fallen behind on recommended childhood vaccinations, now is a good time to get caught up. Give us a call at 409.938.2234 to schedule an appointment. Learn more about childhood vaccinations.
Are you at risk for developing diabetes?
Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.
Roughly 96 million people (that’s more than one in three adults) have prediabetes, but most don’t even know it. Risk factors include being overweight, family history, being physically inactive and being 45 and older.
You can have prediabetes for years and have no symptoms. That’s why it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider about getting your blood glucose levels tested and work with them to adopt healthy lifestyle changes that can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems.
Take this one-minute test to learn if you’re at high risk for prediabetes.
