To celebrate our third anniversary, Public Health Watch is hosting a fundraising event with food, drinks, and a lively discussion on the state of public health in Texas. Plus, all guests will get an exclusive sneak peek at our upcoming podcast, Fumed, launching later this year. 

In 2021, Public Health Watch launched in Austin as an investigative news outlet with ambitious goals —  to expose weaknesses and injustices in the nation’s health infrastructure and highlight solutions. We’ve punched way above our weight, getting policies changed and winning national awards. But we know there’s much more to do, especially here in Texas. 

As we begin our fourth year,  PHW is hosting an urgent discussion of how public health in Texas is suffering — and how investigative journalism can help address the state’s many problems.  

Our event will feature a conversation moderated by beloved former NPR correspondent John Burnett. Our panelists are:

We hope you can join us as we explore how Texas ended up at the “bottom of the barrel” when it comes to public health  — and the solutions that can help us pull ourselves out.
