        Primary Care Week, a student-led effort that celebrates the   importance of primary care providers to the health care system, will culminate   Wednesday, March 21, in a keynote address by James L. Holly, M.D., a family   physician who advocates for a patient-centered approach. 
         
        Dr. Holly’s   keynote address, “Progress in Primary Care,” is just one aspect of Primary Care   Week at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. A number   of discussion groups were held throughout the week on topics ranging from   serving vulnerable populations to the future of primary care.  
         
        Poster   session 
        An exhibition and poster session, to be held from 11 a.m. to 3   p.m. outside the Pestana Lecture Hall, will showcase the efforts of student   groups and San Antonio community organizations who are addressing primary care   needs. 
         
        Keynote address 
        Dr. Holly’s keynote address will be held   from 3 to 5 p.m. March 21 in the Pestana Lecture Hall at the UT Health Science   Center, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive. 
         
        Dr. Holly is a 1973 graduate of the School   of Medicine at the Health Science Center. He served as president of the School   of Medicine’s Alumni Association from 2006 to 2010. 
         
        Earlier this year,   the main auditorium at the Health Science Center was renovated and named for Dr.   Holly after Wayne A. Reaud, chairman and founder of the Beaumont Foundation of   America, paid tribute to Dr. Holly by making a $1 million gift in his   honor. 
         
        Dr. Holly is chief executive officer of Southeast Texas Medical   Associates, which is dedicated to providing quality and cost-effective health   care in Southeast Texas through multispecialty, patient-centered   clinics. 
         
        Primary Care Week was organized by a new organization called   Primary Care Progress, which is comprised mostly of students and is supported by   faculty. The group works to promote the primary-care aspects of health care   delivery. 
          
        The University of Texas Health Science Center at   San Antonio, one of the country’s leading health sciences universities,   ranks in the top 3 percent of all institutions worldwide receiving federal   funding.
