First Youth Advisory Council Meeting at People’s Community Clinic
On Thursday July 21st, community members met at People’s Community Clinic for the first ever Youth Advisory Council (YAC) meeting. YAC members include teens and young adults (ages 15-25), parents, and youth-serving professionals who want to make a difference in their community. The YAC members will work as a team to share ideas and take action to help youth in their community stay healthy. This will include making health clinics more youth-friendly and helping teens and young adults get high quality health care. The Council gives teens and young adults the opportunity to be a voice for themselves and their peers.
The purpose of the first YAC meeting was to learn more about what it means to be a part of the YAC, actively brainstorm ways to make PCC more teen and young adult friendly, and meet other people who want to make a difference in your community. And of course, we accomplished all this while eating delicious breakfast tacos! The YAC also discussed health risks that many teens and young adults face, including: school stress, drug/alcohol use, expressing personal identity, body image, and diet and nutrition. The YAC will focus on these and other issues in the future.
From People’s to You: Thank You!
Central Texans come together to once again support People’s and its patients.
Since 1996, People’s Community Clinic has hosted its annual “There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch” fundraiser to help support the programs and services for People’s more than 11,000 patients. This year’s event was held on May 9th and attended by nearly 500 people. The luncheon raised close to $300,000 for the clinic and its brand new state-of-the-art health facility in Northeast Austin. The new clinic, at 1101 Camino La Costa, officially opened its doors to patients in early April.
We’re Moving April 2016
To meet growing demand, People’s is expanding to a brand new facility at 1101 CAMINO LA COSTA and turning our current main clinic into the Center for Women’s Health. We will increase patient access, expand programs and services, and enhance our patient-centered care. We look forward to seeing you at our new facility starting April 12, 2016.

PCC is Addressing the Unique Health Needs of Women
Keeping Lives on Track
Statistics paint a harsh narrative ahead for teen mothers in the United States. The majority are already poor the day they give birth.
Less than half will earn a high school diploma by age 22, and fewer than 2 percent earn a college degree by age 30. Alarmingly, more than 18 percent of teen mothers will become pregnant again within 24 months—a circumstance that greatly increases the chance that she will not finish school and fall deeper into poverty. Studies have shown babies born to teen mothers are more likely to be underweight and drop out of school as adolescents. But the story doesn’t have to end that way. Since 1998, People’s Community Clinic has worked to make sure teen mothers write their own ending.
