Preteen Health Information Line

While preteens may have many questions about their health, they are often hesitant to ask others for information. The HCHD Preteen Health Information Line helps pre-teenagers get answers to general health questions at their convenience and in the privacy of their homes. The HCHD Preteen Health Information Line lets callers hear topics recorded by their peers in words they can easily understand—and it's free!

Call (713) 715-2800 to listen to any of the 24 pre-recorded preteen health messages—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These messages are available in both English and Spanish.

For more information about the Preteen Health Information Line, contact the Health Information Manager Michelle Galindo or Health Information Educator Coby Crawford at (713) 566-6922.
