Friday, May 29th, 2026, was a BIG day for Pam and Janet. It consisted of 42 CarFits in 4 hours. These 42 CarFits helped Texas gain 40 new OT Technicians. Our partnership with UTMB Occupational Therapy, School of Health Professions is a blessing, and Dr. Amy Boyd is an amazing professor to work with. The sun was shining, and the temperature was hot, but an occasional breeze gave us a little relief. Thank you, Kelly Ferguson, & Preston Huff from UTMB, Ginger Benson, FCH AgriLife agent from Galveston County Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Amy for your help. We are all glad it is over, but we are also so happy to be a part of such a great event!!!

Make these new technicians proud, and wear your seatbelt to the next CarFit event near you, or any time you are in your vehicle.
