The Travis County Commissioners Court unanimously approved the Central Health fiscal year 2025 budget and tax rate this week.
“I represent a community that lives 10 to 20 years less because of the lack of access to adequate health care,” Travis County Precinct One Commissioner Jeff Travillion said. “The point of all this is to serve our indigent populations, improve the health of our whole community, improve equity and justice, and improve the overall economic vitality of our community, which is linked to health.”
The $888.7 million budget is $58.2 million increase from the current year.
The Central Health portion of the county taxpayers’ bill will increase by 6.5 percent.
