When considered in its totality, the impact of the Longs\u2019 giving to the university exceeds $61 million.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Joel Torres, M.D., was a first-year medical student when the news came: He had been selected as a Long Presidential Scholar in the Long School of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>It was life changing for the man who had grown up spending summers in the fields as a migrant laborer to help keep food on the table. He was the first in his family to attend college, and by the time he received the Long scholarship, he had already earned a bachelor\u2019s degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a master\u2019s degree from Stanford University.<\/p>\n<p>As a Long Presidential Scholar, he was awarded a full scholarship from Austin philanthropists Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long. The gift allowed him to focus on getting through medical school without the additional worry of the expense of his education, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel that saying \u2018thank you\u2019 isn\u2019t enough to show appreciation to people as generous as the Longs,\u201d said Dr. Torres, now an emergency medicine doctor in Edinburg, Texas. \u201cThey have given me a wonderful gift, not only financially, but also the gift of their trust that I honor today by being the best physician I can be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Longs began supporting UT Health San Antonio in 1999, with annual scholarship gifts for 12 medical students from South Texas. Their scholarship provided full funding for each student to complete medical school, and resulted in more than $1 million invested in scholarship support in the early years of the program.<\/p>\n<p>Then came a transformative $25 million gift in 2008. It created the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Scholarship Research and Teaching Fund endowment, which is held in the Office of the President. Each year, the endowment distributes scholarship funding that supports more than 50 students in medicine, nursing, physician assistant studies, and the M.D.\/Ph.D. program. It also gives annual support for medical research, and funds to establish new faculty chairs that help the university recruit and retain faculty.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, the UT System Board of Regents honored the Longs by naming the university\u2019s Joe R. &amp; Teresa Lozano Long Campus.<\/p>\n<p>Less than a decade later, the Longs stepped forward with an additional $25 million gift to UT Health San Antonio and the Long School of Medicine. When considered in its totality, the impact of the Longs\u2019 giving to the university exceeds $61 million, and that impact will continue to grow, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 14, the Board of Regents officially approved the naming of the Long School of Medicine as the Joe R. &amp; Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir gifts are remarkable for many reasons, but especially for the extraordinary impact they have already had on improving health care access and delivery in South Texas,\u201d said UT System Chancellor William McRaven.<\/p>\n<p>The latest gift established a $1 million distinguished chair endowment for the dean of the Long School of Medicine; a $4 million endowment to provide additional scholarships for students from throughout Texas who are studying to be physicians; and a $20 million President\u2019s Endowment for Faculty Excellence in Medicine held in the Office of the President to support faculty recruitment for the Long School of Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The Longs met as teachers in Alice, Texas. They most enjoy interacting with young people and supporting their dreams of education. Teresa Lozano Long, Ed.D., and Joe R. Long, J.D., both earned their doctoral degrees from The University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood health is a necessity in life,\u201d Joe Long said. \u201cOur goal is to empower generations of young people to enter health care and enhance the quality of life of our state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Torres said he wants to follow the example that the Longs set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came from small towns, got an education, became successful and worked,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they used all that to better the community. I want to be seen as a physician who cares for people and for the community as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Longs have supported more than 290 scholarships to more than 115 students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Longs\u2019 gifts touch every new baby delivered, every sick child or elderly patient treated, every lifesaving surgery performed\u2014every aspect of the daily medical practices of each of these young physicians\u2014and their giving will do that and more for generations to come,\u201d said UT Health San Antonio President William L. Henrich, M.D., MACP.<\/p>\n<p>While the students are often profuse in their praise for the couple, the Longs never miss an opportunity to applaud the students.<\/p>\n<p>Like Dr. Torres, many scholarship recipients are the first in their families to attend college, much less medical school, said Teresa Long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey prove that if you give them an opportunity, they will work,\u201d she said. \u201cThey don\u2019t come here to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Long added, \u201cWhat we consider the real legacy are the students who will be educated as a result of these endowments. They will make a difference in the future of health care for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cols-wrapper cols-4\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10903 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/06\/cooney-97x150.jpg\" alt=\"Jeffrey Cooney, M.D.\/Ph.D. candidate\" width=\"97\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/06\/cooney-97x150.jpg 97w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/06\/cooney-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2017\/06\/cooney.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 97px) 100vw, 97px\" \/>\u201cThe Long Scholarship has enabled a new generation of physician-scientists to continue the work of translating these basic science discoveries into treatments.
