Community

Healthcare Outreach

Master
Description

At private and public hospitals and practices throughout Houston, Baylor College of Medicine healthcare providers serve the health needs of our community. However, not everyone’s health needs are met through traditional modes of care delivery. When Baylor faculty, staff and students identify unmet needs, we develop services and programs to fill the void. The initiatives listed highlight some of the ways we are doing this.
