It was a pawfect Saturday filled with compassion, connection, and community.

This past weekend, our CLS CARES team spent the day volunteering at the City of Pearland - Animal Services. From walking dogs and cleaning kennels to doing laundry and handing out treats, we showed up not just as healthcare workers, but as humans who care.

At CLS Health, we’re dedicated to CARE. Volunteering at the animal shelter reminded us that showing up, lending a hand, and supporting every corner of our community is what CLS CARES is about. This is what community is about.

This is CLS CARES. This is what it means to be part of a community.
Healthcare, how it should be.
