It starts with our six schools, each of which brings unique perspective and expertise to the UTHealth COVID-19 Center of Excellence. Together, they form the foundation of a comprehensive pandemic response. This coordinated knowledge and expertise is then funneled directly into frontline care, research, and ongoing education.

Across the university, our health care professionals are providing exceptional care for complex cases, saving lives and reducing long-term damage from the virus. And as a regional leader in public health, our experts are uniquely positioned to address the pandemic’s impact on our communities while connecting people in need to vital health services.

Confronting a pandemic is as complex and multi-faceted an endeavor as any institution will ever face. Experts throughout UTHealth have risen to meet this challenge. From frontline care to clinical trials and translational research, we are pursuing initiatives to investigate new therapies, deploy vaccines throughout our communities, and strengthen the global pandemic response.

The work of the COVID-19 Center of Excellence doesn’t end when the pandemic subsides. We are committed to standing guard against future public health emergencies every day—and your support of Many Faces. One Mission. can help us position Houston to meet the next challenge before it arises.
