The Texas A&M Health Science Center and AgriLife Extension Service recently announced the launch of the Healthy Texas Initiative as part of the newly created Texas A&M Institute for Public Health Improvement. The initiative’s pilot program, known as “Healthy South Texas 2025,” marks an unprecedented effort to reduce preventable diseases and their consequences in South Texas 25 percent by the year 2025. Focusing on the highest impact diseases in the region, including diabetes, asthma and infectious disease, Healthy Texas will engage families, enhance education, promote behavior change, and improve quality of medical care and disease outcomes.
