The following comments were made after announcement of the endowments on May 8, 2015.
Dr. Chris Maggio said:
The key is that Carolyn and Larry are and have been, for fifty years, a team. It is impossible to separate the contribution of one from the other. Without Carolyn! Larry affirms he would have been a much different and lesser person. Those are not words but truth and reality.
Dr. Holly said: "Carolyn and I 'went to medical school together.' All that we have done has been as a team and without her; I would never have accomplished what we have in our life."
In a September 19, 2011 letter Ted Carpenter said:
On behalf of Universal American, we are delighted to make a contribution to the University of Texas health Science Center San Antonio to the endowment of he James L. and Carolyn Holly Distinguished Chair in Patient-Centered Medical home. We are making a total contribution of $100,000 I honor of Dr. Holly. Enclosed is an initial check for $50,000, and we are pledging the remaining amount by July 21, 2012.
Our organization works with thousands of physicians across the United States. Further, we collaborate with dozens of physician leaders who dedicate themselves to organizing outstanding patient care by seeking new and innovative ways to improve the entire patient care process. We are very fortunate to work with some of the very best physician leaders in the country.
That said, Dr. Holly is in a league by himself. His energy, passion, and unrelenting commitment to improving quality of care is without equal in my experience. He drives positive change within his practice and community, implements value-added technology to improve clinical outcomes, reads and write prolifically regarding clinical and public health issues and generously shares what he has learned with all interested parties across the United States. Under Dr. Holly’s leadership, SETMA has been honored countless times for their innovation, technology and services to the community. By far, however, their greatest accomplishments is the care and quality that each SETMA patient receives. They are the real beneficiaries of this extraordinary physician practice.
For all these reasons, it is a real pleasure to support the endowment for the new Dr. and Mrs. James L. Holly Distinguished Chair at the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Sincerely
Theodore M. Carpenter Jr.
President Universal American, MA Division"
