Live Smart Texas (LST) is a coalition of Texas organizations focused on addressing the state’s obesity epidemic, especially in children, through collaboration.  A convergence of social, political, economic, and programmatic interests led to the formation of the coalition in 2007.  Today 120 unique organizations across the state of Texas are coalition members.  Our members represent all key sectors including policy, educational institutions, state organizations, research centers, professional associations, and local community groups.  Live Smart Texas members share the belief that collaborations can achieve better outcomes than individual entities working on their own.
