Welcome to the Department of Preventive Medicine & Population Health. This department
serves as an intersection between academic, clinical operations and community collaborations
to improve population health starting in East Texas and beyond. We offer a variety
of lifestyle change programs, such as Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), Hypertension
Workshops, Hypertension Monitoring/Support, Active Living After Cancer, Your Diabetes
and Your Heart and Tobacco Cessation. In addition, this department has received several
cancer prevention outreach grants, which are used for programs such as the cervical
cancer project, the colorectal cancer prevention project, and the breast cancer screening
project. This department recently became a part of the new School of Medicine.
