NTCC health science programs tackle regional healthcare challenges
Have you noticed that more of your friends and family are getting sick lately? If so, you?re not alone.
Recent studies show that residents of rural Northeast Texas are among the sickest in the state per capita. Patients in this region suffer from high incidences of chronic diseases and are more likely to pass away from their conditions than residents of other parts of the state. While these statistics may seem grim, work is being done to improve the quality and availability of healthcare for rural Texans.
