It's National Volunteer Week ~ April 18-24

Denton County and Denton County Public Health have been served by the most incredible volunteers. Through the Vaccination Clinics, we have all seen their extreme dedication to the mission of vaccinating the public. Each time there is a clinic, approximately 400 volunteers show up to make it happen. To say we are grateful is an understatement. Thank you, volunteers! The clinics have proved what we already knew. You are incredible! We are .
