In January, the Mays family announced an increase in their legacy gift to $30 million to support UT Health San Antonio\u2019s cancer center, which recently affiliated with MD Anderson Cancer Center. In recognition of the Mays\u2019 gift, the UT System Board of Regents authorized calling it the Mays Cancer Center, the newly named home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents\u2019 vision has always been to strengthen this community, the community in which they live, the community in which we live,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt is our hope that this will be a place close to home where all of San Antonio and South Texas can come when they hear those words \u2018You have cancer.\u2019 And I can assure you, those words are life altering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The combined contributions from the Mays Family Foundation will provide an endowment to perpetually support the director of the cancer center and to establish up to 10 new permanent distinguished endowed chairs to support faculty recruitment and retention. The gift also establishes the Mays Cancer Center Excellence Endowment to support top priorities for future success and long-term sustainability, said UT Health San Antonio President William L. Henrich, M.D., MACP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCancer has been aptly called the \u2018emperor of all maladies,\u2019 the disease which is the most difficult to diagnose accurately and treat with precision,\u201d Dr. Henrich said. \u201cDefeating its complexity requires leading-edge science, teamwork, perseverance and courage, each in equal measure.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe overwhelming major beneficiaries of this gift are patients who will seek and receive life-saving care here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vision for improved cancer care in South Texas was set when former UT System Chancellor Bill McRaven challenged UT System institutions to collaborate and build on their strengths. Then, in November 2016, UT Health<br \/>\nSan Antonio and MD Anderson Cancer Center announced their affiliation to create a comprehensive and clinically integrated cancer care program in San Antonio. At the announcement, the board of the San Antonio Cancer Foundation, formerly the CTRC Foundation, pledged $17 million to support the new comprehensive and clinically integrated cancer care program in San Antonio by funding recruitment of new physicians and scientists, facility renovations and specialized equipment for the cancer center.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11293\" src=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/08\/MaysCancerCenter.jpg\" alt=\"Mays Cancer Center\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/08\/MaysCancerCenter.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/08\/MaysCancerCenter-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/08\/MaysCancerCenter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazines.uthscsa.edu\/mission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2018\/08\/MaysCancerCenter-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\u201cOur cancer center brings a long history of testing cancer breakthrough therapies through our world-renowned, early-phase cancer treatment program, the Institute for Drug Development, and we are proud of having founded 40 years ago the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium that is now the premier international meeting for both researchers and clinicians focused on breast cancer,\u201d said Ruben A.
