HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DENISE: I have lived in Texas my whole life and have never been one to su er from allergies, but over the last couple years, that has denitely changed. When they hit, I can’t tell if I’m sick, if I should go to the doctor or if I should just wait it out. In this annual Health Care Edition, we give a breakdown of the most common allergens in Central Texas and when they are most prevalent along with details on symptoms and what causes these allergies (see Pages 24-25). Denise Seiler, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM CLAIRE: In addition to the Allergy Guide, our June issue is packed with useful health care content. For our front-page story, Reporter Zacharia Washington talked with residents and ocials in Leander and Liberty Hill about the growing demand for additional health care resources north of Austin as these communities continue to grow, and provided details on the St. David’s HealthCare Leander Hospital—which is scheduled to open in 2025. We also have information on local urgent cares and ERs that families can access for treatment (see Page 21) as well as regional hospitals (see Pages 18-19). Claire Shoop, EDITOR
Meet Travis Baker
Austin Metro Publisher
What’s your typical day as a CI Publisher? TB: One thing I love about my job is that no two days are the same, each lled with new challenges and opportunities. On average, my day starts with some internal meetings. Next, I am in the eld riding along with a sales rep to help pitch a local business as to why our advertising portfolio is the best investment they can make. Then I’m at a chamber networking event, and throughout the day I may be mixing in some editorial decisions on late breaking content, scheduling future stories, etc. Each day my calendar is booked, but rarely is there a day playing out as planned.
What’s your favorite memory working for CI? TB: I’ve had many great memories over my 13 years. One that sticks out the most is when we launched a paper in my hometown of New Braunfels and saw the emails ooding in after our rst delivery. I started documenting them, and when I got to page seven or eight, I realized it was never going to end. The launch was rewarding for myself and also the community.
Where might CI expand to next in your metro? TB: Good question. We have quite a few fans out there, and they are not shy to let us know where we’re needed. I’ve heard from people in Waco, Killeen, Temple, Bastrop and Highland Lakes, to name a few. I look forward to the day that every community across Texas has Community Impact serving it.
