A Pillar of Good Health community resources, both for the services they provide and for their work with other organizations. Larry Mejia, director of Seton's community health centers, has taken a leadership role in such initiatives as the Sustainable Food Center and the Food Policy Council, which work to improve community access to affordable, nutritious foods. Through the cooperative effort of these organizations and Capital Metro, bus routes have been established that give East Austin residents quick and easy access to supermarkets, thereby reducing their dependence on expensive, lightly stocked convenience stores.
Good health goes beyond medical care.
If people don't have access to nutritious food, it limits the good we can do with treatments and medications.
