28 OCT 2020 · Episode 4: Gossip Greg + Arthur Landin + Michelle Auwae-Lapilio from Texas Health Action! Arthur Landin, Clinical Operations Coordinator for Texas Health Action Originally from Laredo, Texas, Arthur moved to Austin in 1995 to continue his career in the optometric field. Like most from a small border city, Arthur fell in love with the diversity and rhythm of Austin and sought to give back to his community. In 2006, Arthur discovered The Octopus Club, an all-volunteer fundraising arm benefiting The Paul Kirby Emergency Fund at AIDS Services of Austin. It was this organization that fueled Arthur's desire to support those living with HIV in the Central Texas area. Throughout his 10+ year run with the organization, Arthur rose from chairing multiple popular events such as Octotea and coordinating volunteers for Arterotica to head leadership in the organization. In July of 2015, Arthur began volunteering with The Austin PrEP Access Project, a startup clinic intended to provide access to the HIV preventative medication Truvada or PrEP. It was this volunteer opportunity that further advanced Arthur's desire to provide compassionate healthcare to his community. Landin volunteered his time over the following year and a half, while maintaining his full-time position in a busy optometric practice. In January 2017, Austin PrEP Access project became Kind Clinic, a program under the leadership of Texas Health Action. Due to his dedication and compassion for the mission, Arthur became the first clinic administrator for Kind Clinic. Currently, Arthur holds a clinical operations role with Texas Health Action in which he utilizes his talents and experience to further expand and open new clinics and facilities for the organization. In his down time, Arthur is a die-hard documentary aficionado, loves to sing and perform and is a cat daddy to his 2 fur babies, Kiri and Sari.
