“H-E-B has made health a top priority and we identify with that vision at the University of Houston where we offer a wide variety of health and medical programs,” said Dr. Stephen Spann, founding dean of the UH College of Medicine. “We’re fortunate that H-E-B sees the value in the goal of our medical school to help fill the primary care doctor gap in Texas, and their support is much appreciated.”
“H-E-B is proud to support the UH College of Medicine because of its unique, compelling and holistic approach to train medical students and to provide value-based health care to underserved communities,” said Winell Herron, H-E-B group vice president of public affairs, diversity and environmental affairs. “With this gift, we recognize the importance of training more primary care physicians, which aligns with H-E-B’s commitment to building healthy communities.”
