The Dr. and Mrs. James L. Holly Distinguished Professorship |  
	
  
    “….(The Distinguished Professorship) shall be a  permanent endowment for the benefit of UTHSCSA. Funds distributed from the  endowment shall be used to support and promote a model of patient-centered primary  care and education. The Distinguished Professorship also will promote  interdepartmental and interdisciplinary education, collaboration and  practice-model development between Internal Medicine, Family Medicine,  Pediatrics and the School of Nursing’s advanced practice programs. As future  gifts are received by UTHSCSA for this endowment, it is the Donors’ intent that  the endowment title and purpose be redesignated to the highest level for which  it qualifies.
  
“At the endowment inception, SETMA partners and  associates include: Imtiaz Anwar, M.D.; Muhammad Aziz, M.D.; Bobbie Colbert,  M.D.; Dean Halbert, M.D.; James L. Holly, M.D.; Alan Leifeste, M.D.; Vincent  Murphy, M.D.; and Mark A. Wilson, M.D., co-founding partner in memoriam. Drs.  Colbert, Holly, Halbert and Murphy are all graduated of the UTHSCSA School of  Medicine.
  
“This endowment illustrates the commitment of Dr.  James L. Holly, Class of 1973, and the Southeast Texas Medical Associates  (“SETMA”) partners to provide the highest level of patient care to improve the  quality of care for all patients. SETMA’s motto is “Healthcare Where Your  Health Is the Only Care.” With this endowment, SETMA is one of the first  practices in the nation to permanently endorse the patient-centered medical  home model and serves as an example for the rest of the nation. The endowment  will allow the UTHSCSA leadership to acknowledge and reward the same  patient-centered aspects Dr. Holly and the SETMA partners have imbued in their  own nationally-recognized clinical practice…”
