On any given warm summer weekend, you’ll see children playing in the Rio Grande; tens of thousands of residents commute over international bridges every day to work and visit loved ones; people come from all over the world to gather at the top of Mount Cristo Rey during Easter, a peak where you can stand in two countries and see three states: Texas, New Mexico and Chihuahua. It’s this powerful bond and location along the U.S.-Mexico border that has made our Borderplex region resilient and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso the place for hope – providing health care to the most underserved and preparing future health care leaders to be successful and compassionate physicians, nurses, dentists and scientists. Whether through opportunities for health care or education, we’ve changed the life trajectories of thousands of mothers, fathers, children and invidivuals in our Borderplex. Our impact is especially meaningful thanks to the support of our El Paso community, including our neighbors in 79905 – one of the oldest ZIP codes in the region – where our campus is located. But the TTUHSC El Paso reach isn’t just local. It includes 108 West Texas counties, a global health footprint in Vietnam, Poland and Croatia, and preventive care for and collaborative efforts with our friends across the border.$47KHousehold IncomeEl Paso trails the U.S. median household income of $63,000.17%Lack Access to Health CareMany El Paso county adults can't afford to see a physician.HPSAShortage DesignationEl Paso is considered a Health Professional Shortage Area.19%Live in PovertyCompared to 11% in the U.S. overall.EL PASO: Border Region ChallengesFEATURED STORIES Engineering Hope: A Tale of Resilience Against GastroparesisTTUHSC El Paso gastroenterologists and researchers developed an innovative gastroparesis treatment for those suffering from this condition.1120 comments0Post not marked as likedLighting Campus for Hope Honors Borderplex Cancer WarriorsTexas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso honored cancer warriors and concluded the university’s 10th anniversary.790 comments0Post not marked as likedLove, Education and Giving Back: An El Paso Family on National Philanthropy DayNational Philanthropy Day – a day to celebrate those who give back to their communities and pay it forward with impact.5160 comments04 likes.
