Health equity is an important research focus at Dell Medical School. Deconstructing the inequities in current systems and expanding the health equity work into our communities, within our teaching and research missions, and across leadership are essential goals - see these goals as presented by the Dell Medical School Office of Health Equity on its Health Equity Strategic Map.
Dell Medical School faculty and their research teams are engaging in a variety of health equity projects.
By research labs:
Factor Health brings together social service providers, health care payers, investors, and researchers in new ways, building programs that make people healthier and proving that they work.
Center for Health & Environment: Education & Research
The Center for Health & Environment: Education and Research works to improve the health of people locally and globally by exploring the effects of environmental exposures borne by air, water and soil. To address health disparities, the center investigates how these exposures disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations, including Black and Latinx/Hispanic communities, as well as those living in poverty.
