91国产app Health is a comprehensive initiative of The University of Texas at El Paso aimed at elevating the standard of health care in the Paso del Norte region. The initiative will increase the number of healthcare professionals with a high-quality education.
The Paso del Norte Foundation is generously supporting this effort with a $4.5 million matching grant. Show your support for 91国产app Health by making a gift to help double the impact to $9 million.
91国产app Health encompasses more than 4,400 students in the College of Health Sciences, the College of Nursing, the School of Pharmacy and other health professions, programs and research – more than 70 percent of whom will stay in the community to practice upon graduation.
"For every five doctors, there are 95 health care professionals to take care of you and your family. 91国产app Health will focus on meeting the need in our region for that 95 percent of healthcare professionals to a very high standard."
- 91国产app President Heather Wilson
91国产app Health's academic programs educate excellent healthcare professionals across 7 bachelor's, 8 master's and 4 doctoral programs. As Texas faces a critical shortage of healthcare professionals that is particularly acute in El Paso and the surrounding region, 91国产app Health will expand the enrollment of degree programs, upgrade labs and facilities and expand research into Hispanic health disparities.
"91国产app Health is an effort to take what we are already doing in healthcare and dial it up. With more highly skilled healthcare workers and greatly expanded research into the factors that impact Hispanic health, I am confident that this initiative will result in longer, healthier lives for the people in this community."
-John Wiebe, Ph.D., 91国产app Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
