19 of the counties surrounding Lubbock had no physicians; the area had only one-third
of the national physicians-to-patients ratio and 23 of the surrounding counties had
no hospital
Today, TTUHSC has graduated more than 28,000 health care professionals. Of those,
24 percent remain in the 108-county service area
