We are devastated to announce that President William L. Henrich, MD, MACP, has passed away. He died from unexpected complications of his second stem cell transplantation at the age of 77.
The beloved Dr. Henrich served as president of the university from 2009 to 2024. In his 15 years as president, Dr. Henrich transformed UT Health San Antonio into a top-ranked academic health center, with world-class programs in cancer, obesity and diabetes, dementia and aging.
We are remembering what Dr. Henrich said in April 2023, "Our mission is to make lives better. That mission compels us to not allow ourselves to get fatigued, because what’s at stake is a human life. Many human lives. That’s why what we do comes from our hearts. That’s why we can’t allow ourselves to quit. If not us, then who will do it? People are depending on us."
