Help Us Celebrate Our Veterans

Veterans Day Graphic

As we prepare to observe Veterans Day next week, we want to honor and thank all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication. We are thankful for the McGovern Medical School students, trainees, faculty, staff, and their families who have protected our freedoms and continue to embody the spirit of service.

UTHealth Houston will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 11, with normal operations and classes taking place as scheduled. Throughout the day, we invite you to join us in recognizing our veterans by tagging McGovern Medical School on social media and sharing posts honoring veterans who are special to you.

Class of 2029 students Rebecca Gu and Richard Johnson are just two examples of the brave military veterans who have answered the call to continue their service by pursuing a career in medicine. Read their full stories about their path to medicine as part of our Newest Faces of McGovern Medical School feature.
