Why It's Time
We believe where you live should not determine how long you live. That’s why we’re working to reduce the risk of preventable diseases while increasing access to health for all Texans. We want Texans to live longer, happier, healthier lives, because right now we rank No. 30 in life expectancy in the U.S., and average life spans can vary as much as 30 years between Texas communities due to inequitable access to health. That’s unacceptable. Those inequities can stem from a number of factors including poverty, city infrastructure, lack of green spaces, food deserts and more.
To build a healthier Texas, we operate in, and impact, three key areas of Texas society:
- We increase opportunities for Texas residents to engage in healthy activities and civic happenings because we know civically engaged people are statistically healthier.
- We help schools and school districts strategically expand their capacity to build a healthy environment for their staff and their students.
- We elevate local-level voices when discussing health prevention and improvements in their communities.
