University of Houston Launches Institute to Address Health Disparities
The HEALTH Research Institute Brings Science and the Community Together to Improve Public Health
The University of Houston is launching an institute focused on HEALTH – Helping Everyone Achieve a LifeTime of Health – with a mission to improve public health. The interdisciplinary group of scientists behind the HEALTH Research Institute will focus, in particular, on making improvements within communities that bear a disproportionate burden of disease and who are oftentimes disenfranchised, marginalized or underserved.
Love posts like this Patrick. They’re why I still can’t figure out why the locals won’t get behind HOUSTON’S University. It’s should be all about the community. Instead they chastise us and root for schools hundreds of miles away from towns they’ll never live in.
