Laura W. Bush Institute at Amarillo: Research
Dedicated to the advancement of science in women's health
Whether it is the disease, the treatment, or prevention,
it matters whether you are a man or a woman.
We must research these differences and apply the knowledge gained to clinical care. By pooling the resources and expertise from among the many organizations in Amarillo, as well as the esteemed faculty at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, the potential for national prominence and excellence in research, teaching and clinical services for women's health remains within the grasp of this community.
