Where Science Meets South Texas

The Center for Rural Health in South Texas’s research tackles the most pressing health challenges facing rural and border communities, from diabetes and vaccine-preventable cancers to emerging infections like Chagas disease and Valley fever. By blending implementation science, environmental health, infectious disease epidemiology, social determinants research, and healthcare delivery innovation, the center will design solutions that are grounded in science, shaped by community needs, and built to last. Here, research will transform clinics, policies, and lives across South Texas.
