Growing a healthier community starts by planting seeds of possibility. 🪴

Thanks to the partnership between the City of San Antonio - Municipal Government and the Kate Marmion School of Public Health, six fruit trees donated by the Urban Forestry team now have a home on our campus, laying the foundation for a future community garden and orchard.

With the support of our facilities team, the fig, pomegranate, peach, apricot, olive and lime trees were planted to create a space that will inspire learning, community connections and wellness. Eventually, this growing orchard will provide over 100 lbs of food annually and represents what is possible when community partners come together. We look forward to seeing it become a beautiful new resource. 🧡

Rogie Royce Z. Carandang, PhD, faculty in the Dept. of Health, Behavior, and Society was featured on Texas Public Radio's Science & Medicine podcast! Nearly HALF of Texas counties are considered maternity care deserts, meaning many healthcare workers lack training to respond to emergencies like maternal cardiac arrest. Carandang is changing that with simulation-based training designed to save lives where resources are limited. Hear the program at: https://bit.ly/4h3Usmf
