TTUHSC and Covenant Health have stood side-by-side for years, providing life-saving pediatric cancer care grounded in compassion, hope and healing. At the Joe Arrington Cancer Research and Treatment Center, we’ve walked with West Texas families through their hardest moments—delivering expert care close to home. Together, we remain committed to giving every child the chance to grow up strong, healthy and surrounded by the love of their community.
