Community—Diseases—Economics—Lifestyle—Translation
Research is the science of connection. For nearly a half-century, The Center for Health Research has been making key connections between lifestyle and wellness, between disease and its effect on people’s lives, between treatment and outcome.
TCHR pursues a vigorous agenda of patient-centered, population-and practice-based
research, tackling subjects as diverse as life-threatening disease, mental health,
prevention and wellness, and improved methods of health care delivery. In recent
years, our research has revealed the connections between:
- human papilloma virus (HPV)
and cervical cancer,
- untreated gestational diabetes and increased risk of
childhood obesity,
- hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer, and
- childhood personality and adult health.
Three Sites—One Mission
Each TCHR site conducts professionally
independent, public domain research and disseminates its findings in the scholarly
literature and scientific community.
