What we do
Mission: Collaboration
The mission of UT Health San Antonio’s Military Health Institute (MHI) is to enhance the collaborative efforts of the university with local, state and federal government and non-governmental organizations to improve the health and resiliency of our nation’s military service members, veterans and their families through advances in education, research and health care.

- Cancer – liver, breast, prostate and others
Since 2000, UT Health San Antonio has many military partnerships that are reflected in approximately 93 collaborative inventions.
