Harris County Public Health (HCPH), in partnership with Harris County Precinct 2, is bringing back its Wellness on Wheels mobile event. The free event takes place on Saturday, August 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sam Houston Math, Science, and Technology High School (9400 Irvington Blvd, Houston, TX 77076).
