Population Health -SPH
Support a comprehensive approach to improving health in our communities.
While Texas ranks as the second most populous state, we trail in public health benchmarks, including the prevalence of unmanaged chronic diseases and health care access and affordability. Moreover, the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our communities of color, especially Hispanic populations, has magnified health disparities and social inequalities like never before.
The School of Public Health is at the forefront of the shift to emphasize population health strategies and lay the framework for a healthier Texas. Through our six regional campuses, our presence spans from the Gulf Coast to the Rio Grande Valley, and the Red River to the Hill Country. We have the expertise and reach to account for the diversity of populations across our state, enabling us to tackle the toughest health challenges and scale our solutions nationally and globally.
Our faculty are leading collaboration across sectors. They are pursuing breakthroughs and policy interventions that impact social determinants of health. And they are educating the next generation of public health experts who will safeguard and improve the health of our loved ones and neighbors.
As our state grows, so will its health challenges. Your support of Many Faces. One Mission. can help reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for all Texans—now and in the future.
