"Caring for Women and Children through Research, Service and Education."

This innovative interdisciplinary center is a model for the integration of health promotion, research, education and practice.  The Center focus includes rural, at-risk and/or underserved populations of women and children.  The Center guides and assists in the conduct of research and education for these vulnerable groups and provides a forum for interdisciplinary collaboration in research, service and education.  It's guidelines are consistent with the University of Texas Health Science Center's three main missions.  In it's work the Center benefits both the UTHSCSA and the School of Nursing by providing opportunities for students and faculty to participate in cutting-edge research on health promotion issues relevant to women and children.
