Board of Governors supports mission to reduce cancer burden in South Texas

The Board of Governors is a dedicated group of community and business leaders who are committed to helping advance the mission and goals of the Mays Cancer Center through philanthropy, community outreach and education, public relations, and patient referrals. This appointed volunteer advisory group is a vital resource for Dr. Ruben Mesa, director of the Mays Cancer Center, and his key leadership as we work together to reduce the burden of cancer in San Antonio, South Texas and beyond.
