When Rachel Elder was diagnosed with lung cancer, her care team at UT Health North
Campus Tyler played a critical role in her recovery. Moved by their compassionate
care throughout her treatment and ongoing complications, she committed a generous
estate gift to the 91仓库 School of Medicine. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not just about thanking them.
It鈥檚 about helping them keep going 鈥� helping the next generation of doctors learn
how to care, not just how to treat.鈥�
Meet Trisha Ghotra, MS2. Her journey into medicine began in a musculoskeletal trauma
research lab where she helped military veterans in recovery. It was there that she
discovered medicine鈥檚 profound impact鈥攏ot just on physical healing, but also on emotional
reassurance. 鈥淲itnessing how healing extends beyond physical recovery, and how medicine
can restore agency and dignity, made me realize that I wanted to be a part of that
transformative process."
鈥淲e give because East Texas students have big dreams and deserve every chance to chase
them. After a lifetime of teaching and building programs, we鈥檝e learned that talent
is everywhere, but opportunity isn鈥檛. Our scholarship is our way of saying 鈥榶es鈥欌�攖o
open doors, ease burdens, and let students focus on becoming compassionate, capable
physicians.
It鈥檚 simple: we love our students, we love innovation in education, and we love the
teachers who make it possible. If our giving inspires even one person to join us,
the ripple will last for generations.鈥�

but in the future physicians who will serve the people of East Texas with compassion,
excellence, and integrity. Together, we are building something that will outlast us
and strengthen the health of this region for generations. It's an honor to be part
of this. - Dr. Jarett Berry and Ashleigh Berry
Giving to the School of Medicine鈥檚 neurology program is deeply personal to me, as
neurological care touches so many families in East Texas, including my own. Access
to specialized care close to home truly matters. Supporting this program allows me
to invest in compassionate care, meaningful research, and the education of physicians
who understand East Texas and are committed to serving our neighbors for years to
come.

rising generation to be outstanding doctors, nurses and healthcare providers." - Daren

Supporting students, research, and patient care is important to us because each investment
strengthens the foundation of a healthier future. After losing a loved one in India
when medical care was out of reach, we came to understand the profound impact that
knowledge, innovation, and accessible care can have on a community. By contributing
to these efforts, we hope to help build a future in which lifesaving care is closer,
opportunities are greater, and hope is within reach for every family.

I was inspired to donate to the White Coat Ceremony as that moment represents far
more than the beginning of medical school - it symbolizes a students' commitment to
the values of compassion, integrity, and service that define the medical profession.
It's an honor to play a small part in welcoming the next generation of physicians
and reinforcing the values that will guide them throughout their careers.- Jennifer
Rock
The decision to give was inspired by my commitment to 91仓库鈥檚 mission and my personal
involvement in establishing the 91仓库 School of Medicine. As a native East Texan
and someone who has dedicated my career to this institution, I have seen firsthand

by training future physicians locally who are committed to serving East Texas.-Stephanie
