For more than 50 years, as a leading pioneer of preventive medicine and the “father of aerobics,” Kenneth H. Cooper, M.D., has revolutionized health and fitness worldwide. Similarly, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) has long been dedicated to education, patient care and research. Today (Nov. 4) TTUHSC officially welcomed The Cooper Institute as part of its organization with a special presentation and unveiling of its new name – the Kenneth H. Cooper Institute at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. 

The Cooper Institute, the nonprofit partner of Cooper Aerobics, focuses on research and education to promote preventive medicine across all stages of life. The Cooper Clinic, also under the Cooper Aerobics brand, will remain a separate entity.
