The top local stories this morning from KERA News: Texas health officials are launching major changes to the state’s reproductive health program known as “Healthy Texas Women.”
The changes to the program come nearly five years after the state made sharp cuts to its family planning budget and restructured the women’s health program.
Since then, the Healthy Texas Women program has struggled to provide reproductive health care to all the low-income women it was supposed to serve.
