THEA COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
We take a multidisciplinary approach that has proven to be extremely effective at creating change.
The Texas Health and Environment Alliance’s mission is to protect water resources and public health by advocating and collaborating for the safe removal of toxic contamination from the environment. We endeavor to establish an informed and engaged public movement to restore and protect environmental resources from toxic contamination.

OUR FOUNDER'S STORY
The toxic environment in her community made Jackie, her family and animals ill. No one could diagnose what was causing Jackie lost motor function and suffered from multiple seizures in a day. A true fighter, she continued her studies, and it was in a hydrology class she was able to answer what no doctor could figure out.
