People’s Tandem Teen & Prenatal Parenting Program serves over 100 participants a year with a repeat teen pregnancy rate below 3%, compared to 17-20% statewide.

“The program really helped me feel supported and more confident in managing my goals and providing support with parenting skills, and other needs like school and food resources. I also really appreciated how caring my Tandem case manager was.”

—Paulina, Tandem Participant

This , People’s Community Clinic honors five extraordinary trailblazers whose leadership reshaped medicine, science, and opportunity in the United States.

From physicians who broke racial and gender barriers to a physician-engineer who traveled to space, their work expanded access, advanced innovation, and opened doors for generations to come.

Their legacy reminds us that progress in health equity begins with courage.

Thank you Rep. Lloyd Doggett for the thoughtful discussion on access to health care. We appreciate your time!

Pleased to see Dr. Nick Yagoda of CommUnityCare, Matt Balthazar of People’s Community Clinic, Jon Calvin of Lone Star Circle of Care, and some of their board members in Washington. A thoughtful discussion on the importance of ensuring that consumers have access to necessary medications and clinics facing financial challenges can continue to serve our community.

Important to protect the 340B program from Big Pharma attacks; it has enabled Austin clinics to offer behavioral health care and addiction treatment.

People's would like to offer a big congratulations to on her acceptance into the 2026 cohort of the African-American Leadership Institute! 👏🏾✨

Tashira has been selected for this 10-month leadership journey dedicated to developing African-American leaders who are committed to service, growth, and making a meaningful impact in their communities.

This opportunity is a big deal. AALI is known for its depth, strong community, and transformative approach to leadership development. Even more powerful is its commitment to access, ensuring financial barriers do not stand in the way of talented, driven leaders who are ready to show up and serve.

Leadership like this strengthens communities.

We can’t wait to see the impact ahead. 🔥

💪 Strength matters at every age!
New expert guidance highlights why strength training is especially important during perimenopause and after menopause. As estrogen levels decline, bone density and muscle mass can drop — but lifting weights or doing resistance exercises can help keep bones strong, maintain muscle, support a healthy weight, and boost overall well-being. Whether you’re just starting or getting back into fitness, simple body weight moves or weights at home can make a big difference. 👉 Read more: https://bit.ly/4t0wxb5

The United States and Mexico are at risk of losing their measles elimination status after significant outbreaks that began in 2025. International health officials from the Pan American Health Organization will review whether uninterrupted transmission has occurred and if the measles-free designation should be revoked. 📊 Measles is one of the most contagious diseases worldwide, and declining vaccination coverage, driven by misinformation, access challenges, and waning public health investment, has allowed it to resurge. Strengthening routine immunization and public health efforts is essential to protect our communities and prevent further spread. 💉 Learn more about why vaccination matters and what this review means for public health at the link in the comments.

📚 New Report: AI in Schools — Risks vs. Rewards

A major new study by Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education finds that while generative AI can help teachers save time and support student learning, the risks to kids’ critical thinking, emotional development, and foundational skills currently outweigh the benefits. Researchers worry that students may rely too heavily on AI, undermining learning and cognitive growth. The report urges policymakers, educators, and tech companies to work together to promote healthy, equitable, and thoughtful AI use in classrooms, not replace teachers or core learning. 🧠💬

👉 Let’s use AI as a tool, not a crutch, and ensure every child benefits, not just the well-resourced few. Read the article: https://bit.ly/3Zpdids
