SUMMARY:FY2027 Central Health Budget Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Every tax dollar should make a difference. Join us and Travis County Judge Andy Brown to learn how Central Health is proposing to invest in health care across Travis County in 2027—and share your perspective on the priorities that matter to our community. \nThis year’s FY2027 budget community conversation will be unlike a traditional sit-down meeting. Central Health is bringing a more interactive experience that allows you to explore the Central Health system at your own pace. \nAttendees will move from station to station to explore the connected care system Central Health is building—from coverage and primary care to specialty care\, mental health\, hospital care and recovery. Along the way\, they’ll learn about the challenges and opportunities facing the system before weighing in on Central Health’s proposed FY2027 budget priorities.

SUMMARY:Guided Walk: Hill of Life Night Hike
DESCRIPTION:Meet us at the Hill of Life Trailhead on Camp Craft Road for an interpretive night hike. We’ll be led by our Board Vice President and seasoned Capital Area Master Naturalist\, Andrew Harrod\, who will identify and share some interesting facts about the nocturnal critters we encounter. By the end of this hike\, you’ll either walk away with a newfound confidence around nighttime wildlife or a new favorite way to explore Austin’s parks — after dark! \nWe encourage folks to carpool if possible\, as parking by the Hill of Life is $2/hour. Bring a flashlight or headlamp and ample water for hydration. Please note that this hike is on the more strenuous side — with a 500-foot elevation change — and plan accordingly. Dogs on leashes are welcome if well behaved and cleaned up after. The Greenbelt closes at 10 pm\, so we’ll wrap up before then. Join us for food and drinks afterwards if interested! Hope to see you on the trailhead!
