Our Vision
A community where public health is understood as far more than the absence of disease — where agencies work hand in hand to widen access to care, and where every individual, especially the most vulnerable, has the knowledge, leadership, and support to learn, lead, parent, build strong relationships, manage stress, make sound decisions, and thrive.
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Social Determinants of Health are the social, economic, and environmental factors that directly influence people's health. At Ve Valance we help families overcome these barriers: we support you in creating or recovering your YourTexasBenefits account and accessing assistance programs such as SNAP, TANF, WIC, Medicaid, CHIP, and MAP.
