Second annual gala In Celebration of the School of Medicine’s 40th Anniversary
On September 20, 2008, the UT Health Science Center will host its Second Annual Gala, at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio in celebration of the School of Medicine’s 40th Anniversary. The opening of the School of Medicine, in 1968, launched a new era for the city of San Antonio, the region and the state.
The Gala’s goal is to raise $500,000 for a cause of great importance to the citizens of South Texas and the world - Women’s Health. By improving the health of women, we will have a far-reaching impact on the health of our community and generations to come.
