Inspection record across Rio Grande Valley
Texas HHSC has recorded 5,967 citations against programs in Rio Grande Valley, of which 1,057 were classed High risk. The median program here has 16 citations on its record. A median describes the metro and judges no program in it: a center open fifteen years has been inspected far more often than one open two, so a longer record is as often a sign of age as of trouble.
