The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (UTHSCT) received a $700,000 Project Grant under the Rural Telemedicine Grants program (CFDA 93.211) from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This 5-year grant, awarded on September 30, 2024, will fund the integration of behavioral health services into primary care through the development and expansion of an evidence-based telehealth network. The project aims to improve healthcare access and delivery, particularly in rural and underserved communities in Texas, by leveraging telehealth technologies such as videoconferencing, remote patient monitoring, and mobile health solutions. As a leading academic medical center, UTHSCT will utilize its expertise in areas like infectious diseases, lung disorders, and rural medicine to address critical health challenges and advance medical knowledge through this telehealth initiative.
