This past spring, he was named the first director of the Sandra Joy Anderson Community Health and Wellness Center at Huston-Tillotson, a historically black university in East Austin. He and his team will be working at both Huston-Tillotson and UT Austin to build the Anderson Center into a hub for increasing access to physical and mental health care for underserved communities across Travis County, and for promoting research that will shed light on the causes of health disparities.
