The UTSA program, Building a Healthy Temple, has dedicated itself to providing health and wellness promotion for underserved communities through over 40 churches. Now that dedication has paid off with the approval of a new grant provided to UTSA in order to reduce the risk of cancer, which is the leading cause of death for Hispanics in the United States. The grant was awarded to Professor Meizi He by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, allowing her to expand her nearly $2 million project to the Westside and Rio Grande Valley.
