Achieve Integrative Health wins Award for Excellence in Resilience at the first Annual GRIT Awards

CEDAR PARK, Texas - Jan. 19, 2023 - PRLog -- Achieve Integrative Health is honored to receive the Award of Excellence in Resilience at the first annual GRIT Awards.

The GRIT Awards, presented by the Texas State University Translational Health Research Center (THRC), will celebrate the innovative actions that Texas small businesses took to be resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic, winter storm, and other public health and natural disaster emergencies.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Achieve Integrative Health developed a new business model for medical clinics by embracing social media and remote work. Achieve owner, Jimmy Yen, leveraged social media to educate his patients and, as a result, developed an online presence of over 1 million followers on multiple platforms. The clinic shifted to a remote-work model while continuing to serve patients in person and increasing its team from 2 to 20 team members. Despite the pandemic, the clinic has grown by 45% and is now the largest acupuncture clinic in the Austin Metro Area.

Melinda Villagran, Executive Director of the Translational Health Research Center, remarked, "I'm thrilled we were able to document (Achieve Integrative Health's) experience, and look forward to sharing their stories at this event to help other small business owners in Texas prepare for future public health emergencies and natural disasters."
