The NIH-funded Gulf Coast Science, Education and Communities United to Respond to Emergencies Center (SECURE) was inaugurated on June 11 at the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans.  

The event was attended by representatives from several SECURE member institutions, including Alexandra Nolen, director of the UTMB Center to Eliminate Health Disparities.

The new center aims to help communities cope with the special health challenges of the Gulf Coast associated with oil and gas production and the effects of hurricanes.
