The Houston Wellness Association is a collaboration of Houston-area industry leaders, local and national businesses dedicated to advancing Mayor Bill White’s 2005 wellness program to promote fitness and wellness in the wake of Houston’s designation three years in a row as America’s fattest city by Men’s Fitness magazine. The Association is comprised of major national corporations and local businesses that, as founding partners, have pledged to spearhead initiatives addressing the healthcare needs of all segments of the population. These initiatives include childhood obesity, workplace wellness and seniors’ health.
“Promoting good health throughout our community is not a spectator sport and I’m proud that Kelsey-Seybold Clinic has teamed up with the Houston Wellness Association to implement meaningful wellness initiatives across the region,” said Waltman.

She has a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Houston – Downtown and a Certificate in Medical and Healthcare Management from Rice University.
“Effecting change and improving the health of the community often requires industry leadership at a local and national level,” said Jonathan Lack, Houston Wellness Association chairman. “Angela is a valued connection to furthering our organization’s objectives through Kelsey-Seybold Clinic and the healthcare industry in Houston.”
