Community Calendar

The WellMed Charitable Foundation (WCF) 2026 Fiesta Medal, designed by WellMed employee Andrew Ramos, tells the story of the company in meaningful detail. From the 24/7 sun with teal arrow symbolizing around-the-clock care to the stethoscope and medical cross reflecting the company’s clinical roots and proactive approach to health. Every element has a story wrapped in a ribbon that reads “Caring for our Community” signifying its guiding values of compassion, focus on community-centered care, and commitment to improving the lives of older adults and caregivers.

The WCF 2026 Fiesta Medals are $10 and can be purchased online at www.wellmedgives.org, 100 percent of the proceeds benefit the WellMed Charitable Foundation.

The foundation offers a variety of programs that directly serve seniors and their caregivers across Texas and Florida. The foundation engages in partnerships that explore innovative ways to care for seniors. In addition, the foundation has contributed millions to non-profit partners who serve the senior and caregiver population. It is predominantly funded by the employees of WellMed Medical Management whose contributions are matched by WellMed Medical Management and UnitedHealth Group. Additional funding comes from business partners and event sponsors who support foundation events throughout the year.

The foundation also seeks partnerships with healthcare providers, grant funders, researchers and universities with a common interest to change the face of healthcare for seniors.

The show opens March 22, 2026 through May 27, 2026, and presents creative pinhole portraits of San Antonio Artist immersed in their artform.

The opening exhibit of Eric O’Connell’s pinhole photography invites viewers into a living moment where time, movement, and memory converge. Through long exposures that compress minutes into a single frame, O’Connell reveals portraits that are both sharp and softly obscured, capturing not just a subject’s image but the interaction, motion, and atmosphere surrounding them.

Ghostly blurs, shifting shadows, and layered spaces create a sense of transparency and connection, allowing creativity, place, and presence to merge into one unified view. This exhibit asks audiences to slow down and consider the fleeting, often overlooked relationships between time, the artist, and the world they inhabit.

As the Edwards Aquifer Authority (EAA) celebrates 30 years of stewardship on June 28th, we invite residents, students, businesses, and organizations from Atascosa, Bexar, Caldwell, Comal, Guadalupe, Hays, Medina, and Uvalde counties to help us look to the future by showcasing how you're managing the drought. Whether you're collecting rainwater, composting, using drip irrigation, or embracing native plants—we want to see it!

Winning photos will be featured in the 2027 EAA Calendar, celebrating innovation, resilience, and the community’s shared commitment to protecting the aquifer.

Edwards Aquifer Authority is a Texan by Nature conservation partner.
