Impact
Through Healthy South Texas, communities have had opportunities for academic connections, research opportunities, and community outreach and education programs. By working collectively, we have been able to expand our reach to increase program impact and create a larger footprint on the health of South Texans. The impact of Healthy South Texas programs has been demonstrated with objective, clinical meaningful measures, including improvements in body weight, blood pressure and A1c.
