On Monday, Jan. 17th, Harris County ESD No. 46 / The Atascocita Fire Department was honored to announce the receipt of grant funding from the Northeast Hospital Authority which will be used for the purchase of a new ambulance (similar to the one pictured here which was delivered in the Fall of 2020). The ambulance has been ordered with delivery expected in June of 2022.

The Northeast Hospital Authority was originally established by the city of Humble in 1977 for the purpose of creating and operating a hospital in the Humble area. Forty-five years later, they no longer own what is now known as Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital, but they continue their mission to ensure access to ever-evolving quality healthcare in the greater Humble area with the grants and donations that they provide.
