The Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation was honored at the Sealy Society Dinner on April 15, 2016 at The University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston. The Dr. Hector Foundation has established the Hector P. Garcia, MD Endowed Presidential Scholarship in the School of Medicine that will assist a student from the Corpus Christi, or Rio Grande Valley area. We are so pleased to be recognized by the medical school that Dr. Garcia was its first Mexican American graduate, and the same university that his daughter Cecilia Garcia Akers is a graduate from the School of Allied Health Sciences.
