\"coupleThe John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation, managed by the San Antonio Area Foundation, has given a $2.3 million grant to UT Health San Antonio for high-powered radiological equipment to diagnose Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other age-related conditions.<\/p>\n

The new John L. Santikos CT and Nuclear Medicine Suite is a major component in the Biggs Institute for Alzheimer and Neurodegenerative Diseases, the first comprehensive center of its kind in San Antonio and South Texas.<\/p>\n

The Biggs Institute, named for the late San Antonio community supporter Glenn Biggs, will feature expert diagnostics; physician specialists in Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s and other diseases; support programs for caregivers; and access to clinical trials of new therapies. The Santikos Suite will include high-powered magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and state-of-the-art nuclear medicine systems called SPECT-CT and PET-CT.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply grateful for the $2.3 million gift provided by the John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation for specialized, high-powered radiological equipment,\u201d said William L. Henrich<\/a>, M.D., MACP, university president. \u201cThis equipment will substantially enhance our ability to accurately diagnose and care for seniors in our community who suffer from age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than 55,000 patients and their families in South Texas are living with these irreversible conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gift \u2026 will have a profound impact and will bring new hope for patients by supporting leading-edge clinical care, innovative medical research and access to cutting-edge clinical trials that will lead to the cures of tomorrow,\u201d Dr. Henrich said.<\/p>\n

The John L. Santikos Charitable Foundation has given more than $305 million in grants and scholarships since 1964. This year\u2019s gifts to eight area organizations totaled $9.2 million, with\u00a0the majority going to health care entities. UT Health San Antonio received the second-largest allotment, behind Christus Santa Rosa Children\u2019s Hospital Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
