Thanks to Generous Supporters Like You

We raised $1.1 million within six months and doubled the impact of available funding for students. More importantly, more money means we can help more students. People like first-generation college students' Jamond Glass (MSHA Class 55) and Miranda Zaragoza (MSHA Class 56) can change their family trajectory.

Stories like theirs and stories like yours do not stop – they endure generation after generation.

Thanks to your generosity, the generosity of more than 100 donors so far, and the generosity of our corporate partners like TMB Equity/Courmed and Capital Growth Medvest, you all now play a pivotal role in a student’s life story and the story of the top ranked MSHA program in the United States.

“We are #1 because of our rich community: the best alumni, students, faculty, staff, preceptors and more.”
— CHRISTY HARRIS LEMAK, PhD, Chair, Department of Health Services Administration

“If we want our program to remain #1, then we need to do the same thing we do in our health systems - continue to differentiate ourselves from the rest.”
— CHUCK STOKES, MSHA Class 17, former President/CEO, Memorial Hermann

Endowments Support Our Program Goals

In only six months, we welcomed 18 new endowments supporting scholarships, professional development, women's mentorship, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and more. This would not have been possible without the hard work and contributions of our ONE MSHA Campaign Committee. A special thanks to each of them for their dedication and their time:
