Support the School of Public Health

Welcome to The University of Texas School of Public Health at UT Health San Antonio. The University of Texas System Board of Regents has approved plans to create a School of Public Health, a collaboration between The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, also called UT Health San Antonio, and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The new graduate school will provide academic instruction relevant to public health and serve as a focus of research activities directed toward community health problems, as it maintains and grows relationships with all entities interested in public health. 

UT Health San Antonio and UTSA offer collective strengths to serve as a strong foundation for advancing public health education and service to South Texas. Building on efforts to advance community health and wellness, both institutions share a rich and collaborative history in meeting the unique health needs of the region’s diverse population.

If you have questions or need assistance, please email or phone Janice Becca Da Silva, Senior Director of Development at (210) 450-8701.

Public health is a collaborative, diverse field that attracts people who want to improve human health by tracking disease occurrences, prevent injuries and research to find the root causes of illness, injury, and health disparities.
