Create Healthy June Newsletter
Create Healthy Newsletter
June 2025
As summer approaches, the spirit of growth is in full bloom at Create Healthy.
We’re still feeling the joy and momentum from our annual Wildflower Run, which brought our community together in full color and full spirit. Thank you to everyone who showed up, ran, volunteered, and supported this event — it’s a beautiful reminder of what we can do together.
This month’s newsletter features a special grantee spotlight on The Grace Center, whose work is changing the lives of those affected by domestic violence in The Hill Country.
And speaking of growth: we’re thrilled to share that the Create Healthy Wellness Center is expanding — nearly doubling in size to better serve the health and wellness needs of our region. It’s a long-term investment in the future of the Hill Country, and we can’t wait to share more in the months ahead.
As the days get longer and the wildflowers stretch higher, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating the season of possibility — and all the ways we can grow stronger, together.
With gratitude,
Jayne Pope, RN, MBA
President and CEO, Create Healthy
