The State of Houston: A Conversation with Mayor John Whitmire

Published | Video Starts at 54:50

They really don't collaborate like they should. I personally don't think in 2025, we have the luxury of having two of everything. We have two park systems, we have two library systems. We're fixing to get a new health director for the city of Houston. They're already meeting this appointee. She's already meeting with Harris Health. We serve the same people, so we don't have the luxury. And we're challenged partly because we're worried about federal funding. Harris Health in the Houston Health Department could collaborate so much better. (54:50–55:01)
