This Giving Tuesday, invest in tomorrow’s physicians and the future of health care!
At McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, we are educating the next generation of compassionate physicians and scientists who will shape the future of medicine. Located in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, we combine cutting-edge research with hands-on clinical training to serve communities across Houston and beyond.

By supporting McGovern Medical School this Giving Tuesday, you help fuel clinical innovations, advance the education of medical students and trainees, and bring greater healing to patients and families.
Our Top Priorities
McGovern Mini Market
While preparing to care for others, some McGovern Medical School students—up to 25%, according to a recent survey—struggle to afford the food they need for their own well-being. The McGovern Mini Market is a student-founded and student-led food pantry that provides free, shelf-stable groceries and essentials to peers experiencing food insecurity. Your gift can help ensure our future physicians have the nourishment and peace of mind to focus on their education.
McGovern Medical School Finals Feast
For more than three decades, Finals Feasts at McGovern Medical School have offered students a moment of relief during the pressures of exam season. Your donation keeps this cherished tradition alive—providing warm meals, fellowship, and encouragement for future physicians as they work toward their goals.
McGovern Medical School Student Assistance Fund
Pursuing a medical education is a tremendous commitment. Through the McGovern Medical School Student Assistance Fund, your gift can help ease financial burdens and give our students the freedom to focus on becoming exceptional physicians. Every contribution helps train doctors who will go on to serve and heal our communities.
McGovern Medical School Dean's Excellence Fund
Your gift to the Dean’s Excellence Fund at McGovern Medical School ensures that the school can quickly respond to new opportunities and challenges across research, teaching, and patient care. From supporting scholarships and enabling new discoveries to providing our faculty with professional development opportunities, these flexible funds strengthen our mission and empower the people behind it.
