Escape Into ASHwell
We're excited to welcome Sandra Chavez, interim co-executive director of ASHwell, to the conversation! šļø
ASHwell is a nonprofit that has been empowering Central Texans since 1988 through sexual health and wellness services that care for the body, mind, and spirit. As demand for services like PrEP, gender-affirming care, and infectious disease treatment continues to grow, ASHwell has continued to expand access and strengthen public health outcomes across the region. From its integrated hep C program to peer advocacy and holistic care services, ASHwell builds creative, community-driven programming that responds to real, unmet needs.
Before we escape into ASHwell, Steph and Courtney dive into a rapidly changing reality for nonprofits as government funding shrinks and philanthropic expectations grow.
Ways ASHwell makes an Impact:
Expanding Access to Essential Care ā Providing HIV, hep C, STI testing, PrEP/PEP, and gender-affirming services at low or no cost. Centering Community Support ā Offering peer advocacy, case management, and wraparound services like food, rent, and utility assistance. Advancing Health Equity ā Breaking down systemic barriers and prioritizing care for communities most impacted by healthcare inequities.
