Rethinking Health, Wellness & Aging in America Today

Clay DeStefano is an award-winning writer and artist currently serving as the Executive Director of the Price Center, a unique, non-profit community center in downtown San Marcos Texas. His personal wellness and aging philosophies are derived from life experience, including 30 years in the health care industry, which led to a book he published in 2016 titled “HealthScare: Confessions of a Hospital Spin Doctor.” Under Clay’s direction, the Price Center has broadened its focus and outcomes using the arts and Blue Zone concepts that include healthy and creative activities offered within an intergenerational, multi-cultural, and historic venue.
