UT Tyler School of Medicine Receives Donation from Byers Family Foundation

The Byers Family Foundation gave a $500,000 gift to The University of Texas at Tyler School of Medicine. The gift will be used to name a professorship in family medicine, which will significantly aid in the recruitment of nationally recognized faculty.

“We are excited to offer our support to the UT Tyler School of Medicine,” said Brent M Byers, president of the Byers Family Foundation. “We feel attracting dynamic professors to our region, especially in family medicine, is a priority. This school is a game-changer for health care and the economy of East Texas and we are pleased to join with others who have helped to make this a reality.”
