FROM PAPAR: Our annual Health Care Edition is here. Every year we compile health-related news about the communities we cover and a snapshot of our community’s well-being. As my mother loves to remind me, “You will have lots of possessions throughout your life but will only have one body, so treat it well.” We hope this edition helps keep you healthy and thriving!

FROM JAKE: There’s a shortage of nurses across Texas, and the problem is worst in the region that includes Pearland and Friendswood. Many facets are contributing to the issue, including a lack of educators, but legislators worked on several bills to address the problem. Learn more about this issue and what has been done to address it with our front-page story. Jake Magee, SENIOR EDITOR
Meet Jason Culpepper
Houston Metro Publisher
What’s your typical day as a CI Publisher? JC: It begins with reading our email newsletters, then touching base with staffers covering our Houston communities. I also like to stay close to our customers and trends in the region. Attending chamber lunches or networking is something I prioritize, and keeping on top of the operational needs and financial health of our metro fills out my week. I strive to serve my team each day based on where their needs are.
How do you spend your free time? JC: I serve on several boards within the Cy-Fair community where I grew up and where I’m raising my family. Patronizing local businesses, specifically our advertising partners, is also fulfilling to me. Aside from Community Impact, what have you read recently? JC: I just finished “The Intentional Year,” “Smart Brevity,” “The Measure,” “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry” and “Intimate Allies.”
Email newsletters are booming for CI; why should readers subscribe? JC: They really are the best way to stay informed with the news of the day plus entertaining items, like new restaurants opening and events to plan your weekend.
