About Our Research Center
The Center for Primary Care, Prevention, and Population Health Research (C3PR) within Baylor College of Medicine and the Department of Family and Community Medicine conducts high-quality research and service programs that improve the health of residents throughout Greater Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas.
