Mission:  THOT is the principal voice and advocate for health systems that teach the next generation of health professionals and who are united in their commitment to support policies and funding that will ensure healthcare access to all Texans.

THOT members’ shared commitments include:

• Supporting access to care for all in our communities, with a special focus on vulnerable populations;
• Providing and coordinating essential community health services, such as trauma and disaster management;
• Preparing for the future by training tomorrow’s healthcare providers and supporting health research and healthcare transformation.

THOT & Member Values:

• We are committed to the people and the communities served by our members: to their health and to the best use of resources entrusted to us.
• We are engaged in innovation and system transformation through active involvement in Texas healthcare programs and financing systems, including the waiver.
