Congratulations to the teams at Dell Children’s and Dell Medical School who continue to strengthen pediatric care for families across Central Texas.

Congratulations to the @DellMedSchool Class of 2030, who are beginning their medical training with a commitment to improving health for patients and communities.

This year’s White Coat Ceremony marks an important step as these future physicians bring their experiences, perspectives, and dedication into the next stage of their education.

As they build the skills to care for patients and lead change in health care, we look forward to seeing the difference they make across Central Texas and beyond.

Coursemojo keeps 60,000 middle school students on track in reading and writing by putting support inside the lessons they are already doing.

When students get stuck, Coursemojo helps them work through misunderstandings in the moment, so they can keep pace with the lesson. At the same time, those interactions give teachers real-time insight into where individual students and the class need more attention.

The technology is designed to keep students focused on what they are learning, not distract them from it. Students get guidance when they need it, while teachers know when and where to step in.

As Dacia Toll, co-founder and co-CEO of Coursemojo, puts it, "AI isn’t the starting point. Good teaching is. The question is where technology can help make that teaching even more effective.”

Healthy food can be as important as medicine during pregnancy, but it isn't always affordable.

In Texas, women with high-risk pregnancies are receiving $100 a month for groceries, making it easier to buy the healthy food they need for themselves and their babies. The program is part of a growing effort to make nutrition support a routine part of neonatal care.

@AboutFresh, @CHCTexas, and the @UTHealthHouston Center for Healthy Communities are partnering to study how this approach affects health outcomes and health care costs. Early results are encouraging.

.@PeepulIndia increased grade-level learning by 32% in public schools across Madhya Pradesh by giving teachers and school leaders ongoing support to improve classroom instruction.

Unlike one-time training, Peepul's coaches return throughout the school year to observe classrooms, share practical feedback, and help new teaching practices become part of everyday learning.

As classroom experiences improved, more students began coming to school consistently. Attendance increased 28% over two years, with nearly 7 in 10 students now attending regularly.

Today, nearly 1 in 2 students are learning at grade level, and students in Peepul-supported schools are more likely to meet grade-level expectations than their peers in similarly resourced schools.
