Regional Healthcare: Does Austin deserve its "Fit City" moniker?
Austin is acclaimed for its fitness lifestyle – from avid joggers on the Lady Bird Lake trail to the Cap-10K – and our youthful and fit population, natural resources and great climate all lend themselves to our designation as the “Fit City.” But how well does this description fit our population at large? According to the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department, 28% of Austin’s kindergartners are overweight or obese.
Join us for an interactive discussion as our expert panel explores just how healthy Central Texans really are. What are our providers, citizens and business leaders doing to help keep the city, themselves and their employees healthy? What are our challenges and prospects for the future to be a truly healthy region?
