Unique Population Of RGV

Greater than 90% of the population in the Rio Grande Valley is of Hispanic heritage
Generations of families call the Valley home allowing for “vertical” clinical studies to be conducted across many generations
Residents in the Valley tend to stay allowing for uninterrupted longitudinal clinical studies to be conducted
A great opportunity for our industry partners to involve this unique population in clinical research addressing the current limitation of markedly low involvement of Hispanics (<1%) in clinical research.
Cancers (particularly cervical cancers)
Diseases are overwhelmingly present in our Rio Grande Valley (RGV) patient population including Diabetes, Obesity (see graphs below), and Cardiovascular disease
RGV patient population presents with unique pathology, medical history and varying pharmacological response to existing therapeutic regimens.
