Why here?

Because there’s no better place to do the work we do.

Dynamic, diverse, and rapidly growing, Houston and Texas today look like America will look tomorrow. Our city and our state can be a proving ground for programs and treatments that address America’s most significant health care issues and public health challenges—many of which deeply affect our families, friends, and neighbors.

“In Houston, across Texas, and beyond, UTHealth sees the need for the kind of holistic solutions that can only come from collaboration and a comprehensive approach to care—one that acknowledges that our genetic code and zip code are interacting to influence our health outcomes. And as we analyze and begin to emerge from a historically devastating public health crisis, addressing these shortcomings and inequities feels more urgent than ever.

UTHealth can do what other health care institutions can’t—and in many ways, we are already where health care is going. It’s time to build on this foundation, and it’s our sacred responsibility to do so: for healthy, thriving communities at home and everywhere.”
