Be honest… did you floss today?

Flossing is one of those small habits that makes a big difference. It helps prevent gum disease, reduces cavities, improves bad breath, and even supports overall health. Skipping it may seem harmless… but gums remember.

At People’s Community Clinic, the dental team sees every day how preventive care changes lives. From routine cleanings to complex, life-restoring treatment, access to affordable dental care gives patients the confidence to smile, eat, work, and live without pain.

Your support helps Central Texans stay healthy for years to come.

A toothache shouldn’t cost someone their health or their confidence. 🦷💙

When Mario came to People’s Community Clinic, he was already managing a chronic disease. But he was also living with constant dental pain. Eating hurt. Drinking hurt. Smiling? Forget it.

Without treatment, his condition could have led to infection and expensive procedures he couldn’t afford.

Instead of turning him away, Dr. Carlos Diaz, Director of Dental Services at People’s Community Clinic, took on his complex case. After full-mouth rehabilitation, Mario regained his health and confidence. For two years now, he hasn’t missed a follow-up appointment. He’s taking care of his health because someone like you made care accessible to him.

People’s provides medical, dental, and wraparound services to nearly 22,000 Central Texans each year, regardless of ability to pay. When donors invest in the community, people in the community are inspired to invest in themselves.

When you give directly to People’s, you help expand dental services and ensure more neighbors can live pain-free and smile with confidence.

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.”

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

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.

Leadership like this strengthens communities.

💪 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
