Former First Lady to Visit Amarillo
WHAT: Former first lady Laura W. Bush will visit Amarillo for a private luncheon supporting the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health (LWBIWH) and its research and educational programs.
WHEN: 10:15 a.m. Thursday (April 5)

LWBIWH research and programs continue to show dynamic and cutting-edge information related to the care of women not previously emphasized. Recent studies on gender differences in disease and treatment have uncovered a need for the integration of gender-specific medicine into the national medical school curriculum in addition to the ongoing research and outreach.
