And when it comes to battling major public health problems like chronic disease and poor health care networks, South Texas has a new ally. Healthy South Texas is a program dedicated to improving the lives of everyone in the South Texas region, in addition to setting a foundation for interdisciplinary success in education and applied research for future generations of health care professionals.
