The Rio Grande Valley’s first school-based telemedicine clinic was established at the “colonia” school, Cantu Elementary, in the spring, 2005 by UTHSC-H through funding from the Cullen Foundation. In addition, through another generous gift, the latest telemedicine equipment was installed in three “colonia” schools in Hidalgo and Cameron counties.
Using encrypted technology across Internet 2, UTHSC-H physicians are providing telemedicine to assist these medically unserved and underserved area schools along the border. The telemedicine occurs from UTHSC-H Medical School to the students in the four schools as to patients on the UTHSCH Medical Mobile Clinic.
