WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome to the Humana Integrated Health System Sciences Institute!
As a long-time physician and health services researcher, I wanted to share the pivotal role the Humana Institute plays in advancing high impact research that changes policy, creating innovative educational programs that prepare the next generation of healthcare providers, and designing impactful programs that support community health transformation.
In a time of increasing demand for practitioners to provide more effective, efficient and lower-cost care, public/private partnerships like the Humana Institute are bridging major gaps in the health care system. These interdisciplinary teams leverage the University’s research expertise and the Institute’s partnerships to tackle the most pressing and complex health care problems facing our communities.
Please explore this site to learn more about the important work we do. If you have questions, suggestions or opportunities you’d like to discuss, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at lwoodard@central.uh.edu or 713-743-6463.
