THIS ISSUE

ABOUT US

Owners John and Jennifer Garrett launched the rst edition of Community Impact Newspaper in 2005 with three full-time employees covering Round Rock and Pugerville, Texas. Now in 2022, CI is still locally owned. We have expanded to include hundreds of employees, our own software platform and printing facility, and over 40 hyperlocal editions across three states with circulation more than 2.8 million residential mailboxes.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM PAPAR: Our annual Health Care Edition is your go-to for local health news. Pearland is quickly becoming a medical hub in more ways than one. With our close proximity to the Texas Medical Center, we are not only gaining more medical manufacturing businesses in the Lower Kirby District on the west side (see our front-page story), we also have a new HCA training facility at Pearland Town Center providing training for the region’s nurses (see Page 18). Papar Faircloth, GENERAL MANAGER

Community Impact Newspaper teams include general managers, editors, reporters, graphic designers, sales account executives and sales support, all immersed and invested in the communities they serve. Our mission is to build communities of informed citizens and thriving businesses through the collaboration of a passionate team. Our core values are Faith, Passion, Quality, Innovation and Integrity.

FROM JAKE: While this issue is packed with health care-related news, we’ve got other stories, too. See our transportation updates on Page 9 to learn more about a local Texas Department of Transportation project, results from the May 7 local election (see Page 10) and what’s happening at local government meetings (see Page 11). Jake Magee, EDITOR

Our purpose is to be a light for our readers, customers, partners and each other.
