                                 ______

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2023

  Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to praise the transformative work of 
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) El Paso over the 
last ten years in the Paso del Norte region.
  Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso became an 
independent university within the Texas Tech University System on May 
18, 2013, with the goal of improving lives and empowering generations 
through accessible health education and world-class patient care. Now, 
the university's four schools train tomorrow's Borderplex health care 
leaders. By partnering with local hospitals, primarily University 
Medical Center, the medical school provides vital opportunities for 
medical residencies, clinical rotations, and postgraduation job 
placements.
  In addition to transforming the lives of 2,135 graduates, Texas Tech 
University Health Sciences Center El Paso continues to serve our 
community by removing access barriers to health care, addressing the 
health care worker shortage, and conducting cutting-edge research on 
diseases that directly impact Latino and residents of our border 
community.
  Today, it is my privilege to honor the 10th anniversary of Texas Tech 
University Health Sciences Center El Paso and am confident that its 
strong leadership will remain steadfast in their mission to improve 
access to health care and inspire future generations of physicians, 
dentists, nurses, and biomedical researchers.
