Welcome to the Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District
Join us in building a healthier Abilene and a healthier Texas!
It's Time Texas Community Challenge is a state-wide initiative aimed at helping Texans build healthier habits and ultimately, improved health benefits and outcomes.
By downloading the It's Time Texas app, you have access to free tools designed to build those healthier habits -- and take part in a little friendly competition!
Find and download the app by searching It's Time Texas in your app store, or scanning the QR code below.
Another free resource available to help establish healthier habits and learn about chronic disease and prevention is the Rebuild Health website. Click the Rebuild Health image to the left or go to www.abirebuildhealth.org to learn more.
If you have any questions about the challenge, call the ATCPHD at 325.692.5600.
