Area
The Texas Indigent Health Care Association (TIHCA) was created in
2004 as a program of the Urban Counties, with the co-operation of the Texas Association of Counties when county indigent health care directors asked for organizational assistance in response to the State’s discontinuation of the Texas Department of Health Regional Coordinators the prior year.
What does TIHCA do?
The basic goal of TIHCA is to provide timely information on upcoming legislative issues and state level changes as well as staff training on program administration.
