Office of Student Affairs, Frontera De Salud 

This community-driven project transforms an underused Holland House community room into an active wellness space for movement and social engagement. With senior loneliness and physical inactivity among the top health concerns in Galveston County, UTMB Health occupational therapy students, through Frontera de Salud, are stepping in to provide exercise equipment and lead therapeutic sessions. The goal is to promote healthy aging, enhance quality of life and create an inclusive space where seniors can thrive.
