ECHO Superhub Launch Event
UT Health San Antonio is now an ECHO Superhub!
Superhub status means that we are able to provide training and technical assistance to organizations aiming to start and grow their own ECHO programs to improve community health. To celebrate, we hosted a weeklong virtual event to celebrate this all-teach, all-learn model of telementorship and share stories of its impact. View session details and recordings below.
