The medical school at UT San Antonio bears the name of Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long, a couple whose giving opened the door to a medical education for hundreds of South Texas students. Joe R. Long, a San Antonio native, died Oct. 7. He was 96. The Longs began supporting what is now UT Health San Antonio in 1999 with scholarships for South Texas medical students, many of them the first in their families to attend college. The university says more than 444 Long Scholars have been supported across medicine, nursing, physician assistant studies, biomedical science and the MD/PhD program.
