| Healthy Austin Coalition members at an Asset Based Community Development training. |
Healthy Austin is a coalition made up of community residents, local service providers, agencies, organizations, business representatives, and others interested in the health of the Austin community.
The coalition is undergoing a planning process to identify resources and gaps in the community. Based on community members' experiences, data that describe the community, and the availability of local resources, the coalition will identify key areas of concern. The coalition will then develop strategies to address those concerns and an action plan to implement their strategies.
Vision:
Healthy Austin defines health as a state of well-being that is nurtured by the total environment of the individual. The infrastructure for building a nurturing environment includes a set of relationships, which create positive images of oneself, family, community, country and world. It also includes opportunities within the environment for the individual to develop and use their spiritual faith, gifts, and talents or creating wholeness for themselves and others.
