In collaboration with the City of Bryan Geographic Information System (GIS) team, the Texas A&M University Office of Safety & Security, and the Brazos County GIS Coordinator, the Brazos County Health District has launched a new COVID-19 dashboard. This is an effort to be as transparent as possible so that the community has access to timely, accurate, and dependable information regarding COVID-19 in Brazos County.
The user friendly dashboard is updated daily and displays information about confirmed and probable cases, testing information, cases by zip code, and case and death demographics.
“The health district is extremely appreciative of the collaborative effort to launch this new dashboard,” said Brazos County Health District Director, Santos Navarrette, Jr. “The dashboard allows our community to stay informed through up-to-date COVID-19 information.”
The dashboard is displayed on the Brazos County Health District’s website at www.brazoshealth.org/covid19-dashboard.

Many communities around the country have called on volunteer health care professionals to assist in the care of individuals in hospitals and other health facilities due to the COVID-19 outbreak. To date, preventive measures have protected our local health care infrastructure, and these measures are expected to continue. However, it is important to prepare in the event that additional health care providers are needed in the COVID-19 response effort.
Active or retired health care professionals as well as medical or nursing students who are willing to provide volunteer services within the Brazos Valley are encouraged to register through the clinical provider registration portal. Upon submission, a health care organization will follow up with you to identify where your talents can best serve our patients and communities.
The clinical provider registration portal, along with a list of frequently asked questions, can be found at the link below.
