Thinking of relocating to Dallas area (Public Health)

Hello everyone. I am looking to relocate from Philadelphia to Dallas, TX. With a MPH, I have experience in health education, program facilitation, HIV/AIDS, and community health. These past few years I have felt stagnant in my career and with my current job terminating my employment, I believe this is a sign to move on to something else. I would love to hear from anyone living in DAL in the similar fields. Thank you all in advance :)

Any specific reason as to why Dallas instead of Houston? I am probably biased, but the Houston/Galveston area have quite a lot of medical and public health opportunities that might also be appealing to you. I am sorry to hear about the termination, but it seems like you have a great mindset about the future. On to bigger and better things! And as they say, everything's bigger in Texas :)

Oh, I see! Well of course, considering life priorities outside of work is also smart and completely valid. That's great you are getting to visit a couple of times. Enjoy the Lone Star State! And good luck with your decision making!
