"Dr. Birx brings with her a distinguished background in global health and is known for leading improvements in health care on a national scope," President Lori Rice-Spearman said. "We are honored to have her on the team and excited to welcome her to the TTUHSC family." During the COVID-19 pandemic, Birx worked closely with state officials and then-President Donald Trump on decision making and public health guidance.

"Her expertise will greatly contribute to efforts in yielding science in service to people as we work with community partners to identify and address health challenges specifically in rural areas of West Texas," Rice-Spearman said. Birx's position is partially funded with a gift from the Permian Strategic Partnership, a coalition of energy companies that focuses on education, road safety and health care among other issues in West Texas.
