Frontera de Salud

Frontera de Salud, also called Frontera, is a volunteer organization run by medical students at UTHSCSA that are committed to bringing healthcare to the underserved. Students and mentors in this program provide healthcare to people of the colonias of Corpus Christi and Laredo - two of the most impoverished regions in the nation. Both faculty and students learn to treat diverse populations and consider the unique social context of care in South Texas.
