In this episode of Hello Austin County, we\u2019re joined by Michelle Wright and Rosalinda Marez from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Office to talk about a powerful new public health initiative called Reaching Well\u2014a CDC-funded program designed to build healthier communities through education, outreach, and trusted local partnerships.<\/p>\n

Michelle and Rosalinda explain how Reaching Well works with churches, schools, daycares, and community leaders to connect residents with health screenings, chronic disease prevention tools, and even food access support. From organizing annual health expos to guiding local churches in offering wellness workshops, their goal is to empower rural communities with sustainable, grassroots health education.<\/p>\n

We discuss everything from the barriers rural Texans face\u2014like lack of transportation and limited access to fresh produce\u2014to creative solutions like faith-based fitness programs, healthy cooking classes, and supporting local farmers. Rosalinda also shares how early childhood centers can benefit from free health assessment tools like Go NAPSACC and Healthy Building Blocks.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcaa Whether you’re a community leader, church member, parent, or someone just trying to live a little healthier, this episode is packed with practical ways to make wellness more accessible for everyone in Austin County.<\/p>\n
