F. Marie Hall Institute for Rural and Community Health The Institute for Rural and Community Health is a multidisciplinary group of professionals that are The F.

Marie Hall Institute for Rural and Community Health at TTUHSC was established in February 2006 with a donation from Ms. Hall to leverage the existing resources of TTUHSC’s Office of Rural and Community Health and expand the impact of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in addressing the needs of the region and developing solutions that affect rural health beyond the bounds of West Texas.

The Institute for Rural and Community Health is a multidisciplinary group of professionals that are the focal point of key programs in four major areas—the West Texas Area Health Education Center, Rural Health Research, the West Texas Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center, and Telemedicine. These programs integrate services to bring innovative solutions to the broad spectrum of health-related challenges across West Texas.

Floydada EMS used the NextGen911 kit during a drill on May 1, demonstrating its effectiveness in a rural environment. Highlights included the use of an ultrasound device, a digital exam camera, and a digital otoscope—all of which have the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes.

During the exercise, Floydada EMS also conducted a Zoom meeting to share images and live video feeds with another test kit. Both systems operated successfully using mobile hotspots, showing the feasibility of remote connectivity in the field.

The training demonstrated how both traditional and modern EMS equipment can be integrated to enhance patient care and improve outcomes, especially in rural settings.

Eastland, Texas

This is rural Texas.

Access to Breast Health for Texans at TTUHSC is in Eastland this week, bringing care directly into the community.

Our boots-on-the-ground team is set up at the Eastland County Crisis Center with a full schedule of Bexa breast exams, ensuring women in this region have access to essential screenings close to home.

A special thank you to Briona Sattarphai, LMSW, Executive Director, and the Eastland County Crisis Center for partnering with us to make this possible.

And sometimes, rural Texas reminds you you're not alone out here...even the local goats stopped by to supervise.

Follow our journey as we continue across rural Texas. One town at a time.
