to improve your life. That’s our purpose.
SERVING PATIENTS HERE, AND EVERYWHERE

is no small task, but it’s a mission-critical component of our overall commitment
to keeping you healthy. As we move into the next 50 years, we’re combining state-of-the-art
technology with traditional values — making your life, our purpose.
WITHOUT YOU WE WOULDN'T BE HERE
We’re demonstrating the real value of education by transforming scholars and scholarships
into the very lifeblood of our region, our nation and the world. Last year, we disbursed
nearly $80 million in grants, scholarships and loans to future health care professionals.
This investment will continue to yield dividends for decades to come. At TTUHSC, we
believe that accolades and rankings indicate how much your generosity really counts.
Thank you for your support.
