The Foundation was created in 1939 to rally citizens in support of the highest quality health care possible in the Southwestern region. Out of that community vision, UT Southwestern Medical Center emerged. Today it remains the Foundation’s partner and most significant beneficiary. We invite you to consider making a gift to support this work and join us in moving Forward Together. The opportunity to foster new hope and new progress in the health of our region is both our inspiration and our promise.

The opportunities made possible by the Priddy Award have helped many up-and-coming innovators like Noah Mathai to continue pursuing their passion with a reinvigorated sense of hope and motivation. Seeing the impact that the Priddy Award had on their son motivated Thomas and Libby Mathai to establish the Thomas and Libby Mathai Scholarship for Women in STEM Fund.
