TAMU-CC Colonias Healthcare Clinic

A&M-Corpus Christi uses Technology to Bridge Language Barrier in Colonia Healthcare Clinic
When a language barrier threatened to slow the process of delivering healthcare to Colonia residents in Laredo, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CONHS) at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi used an innovative piece of technology – a double robotics robot – to continue the critical mission of care.

LAREDO, Texas – It was a mission well done for a group of more than 40 students and faculty from the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi College of Nursing and Health Sciences, who volunteered to provide a concentrated effort of care to those who need it most. From June 19-29, Islander students and faculty, along with members of the Texas A&M Colonias Program and more than 200 U.S. Army personnel, were near Laredo, in Webb County, offering healthcare services, infrastructure enhancements and other services to the improve the quality of life for those living in Colonias. Colonias are rural communities that lack basic living necessities, such as sewer systems, electricity and safe and sanitary housing.
