Prevention and Treatment
Health outcomes among groups dramatically improve when prevention strategies are implemented before a disease ever occurs. Chronic illnesses are better controlled, or even fully treated, when therapies are administered early on after diagnosis. Key components of prevention include awareness and education, research, disease surveillance, improved health care systems and proactive behavior by individuals. Through our various programs such as TOUCH, Taking Texas Tobacco Free (TTTF) and UHAND, we help the community apply approaches to address preventable and treatable illnesses.
