UTHealth SPH Partnership
You can't provide services without adequate community health research. Well who better to collaborate with on research than Texas' top-ranked School of Public Health - UTHealth Houston. Since the summer of 2022, students from UTHealth's MPACH Department have been assisting us with conducting research necessary to establish the NHHC and overall expand our reach as an organization. We've learnt so much from them and have even recruited one of their very own alumni as our Research Assistant.
