At the annual meeting of the Border Health Commission in McAllen earlier this week, Mike Leavitt and Jose Angel Cordova signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that updates previous agreements from 1996 and 2001 that focus on strengthening cross-border public health collaborations. “The United States enjoys a solid friendship with Mexico, and our two nations are stronger when we work together to improve the health of our citizens,” Leavitt said. “A commitment to the health and safety of our nations, and to the spirit of cooperation, provides opportunities for growth in science, cross-cultural training, health care delivery and the protection of our people.”
