GIHH Corner Engaging South Texas communities in healthcare research by providing access to clinical studies through strategic partnerships.
Since 2018, the Texas A&M and Driscoll Children’s Hospital Global Institute for Hispanic Health (GIHH) has been connecting researchers and clinicians, providing access to clinical trials for the South Texas community and promoting collaborative research, education, and outreach to eliminate health disparities. Our clinical trials provide families with access to cutting-edge investigational therapies in multiple pediatric subspecialties for kids with limited or no treatment options. Promoting equitable representation of Hispanic communities in clinical trials is just one way the GIHH is working to reduce disparities in health outcomes.
