The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center (UT Tyler HSC)

Robert M. Rogers Department of Psychiatry

The University of Texas at Tyler Health Science Center is the only academic medical center in Northeast Texas and serves a region of 23 rural counties. The region is characterized by 1) low income and below state average education level, 2) older average age, 3) high rates of chronic illness, 4) high rates of mental health problems, and 5) underutilization/limited access to mental health resources. The Robert M. Rogers Department of Psychiatry serves the community by providing quality, affordable mental health care and training the next generation of providers in culturally competent services.

UT Tyler HSC's behavioral health departments support the University’s goal of improving the quality of life and health in the region through research and clinical care. For TX-YDSRN, UT Tyler HSC has partnered with community mental health providers to address the ever-changing needs of youth in their community.
