Established in 2014, the Military Health Institute (MHI) has a goal of expanding the existing collaborations between UT Health San Antonio and the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 

The Military Health Institute was established to lead innovative medical research, health education and clinical care to enhance military collaborations with the goal of improving the health and well-being of military personnel, veterans and their families.  

UT Health San Antonio leads the STRONG STAR Consortium and the Consortium to Alleviate PTSD, which together form the world’s largest research network focused on combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder and co-occurring conditions.

The Military Health Institute at UT Health San Antonio encourages collaboration in research on behavioral health, trauma, cancer, pain, substance abuse and neuro-imaging.
