For the late Jerry Dye Parker, the call to nursing began long before she put on the iconic white uniform. Her mother, Ida Mae Phillips Dye, graduated from UTMB SON in the early 1920s. Her father, Dr. Fulton Eugene Dye, was a 1924 UTMB medical school alumnus whose journey to medicine began after serving as a Navy medical corpsman in World War I.
This inaugural event not only celebrated the generosity of UTMB Health employees but also highlighted the vital role their contributions play in advancing the university's mission of education, research, patient care and innovation.
“Most often, I hear about the long-term outcomes of my patients through notes and cards, which is always deeply moving,” Dr. Fraser remarked. “But to experience it in person was uniquely humbling.”
