About
I am a professor in the Division of Neonatology at UT Health San Antonio, where I have been on faculty since 1985. I hold the Rita & William Head Distinguished Professor of Environmental and Developmental Neonatology and am the Medical Director of the PREMIEre program.
I received my medical degree from University of Mississippi School of Medicine and trained in pediatrics at UTMB-Galveston and SUNY Buffalo where I completed my neonatology fellowship.
I have received numerous awards for advocacy on behalf of newborns, children and families. I helped pass legislation mandating lifesaving newborn screening for congenital heart disease in Texas.
I co-led, with Dr. Charleta Guillory, the Texas Pulse Oximetry Project (TXPOP), providing training and a toolkit of resources used statewide for CCHD screening. I received the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Special Achievement Award in 2014 for my efforts.
Other past awards include:
2020 Graduate School of Biomedical Science mentor of the year award
2018 Sidney Kaliski Award
2017 Health Care Hero from San Antonio Business Journal
2013 Gold-Level TMA Award for Excellence in Academic Medicine
2012 and 2013 Texas Pediatric Society Executive Board Award
I served on the:
Texas Perinatal Advisory Council
Texas Newborn Screening Advisory Committee
Texas Collaborative for Healthy Mothers and Babies
TMA Council on Science and Public Health
March of Dimes’ State Advocacy and Government Affairs as Vice Chair
I also made significant contributions to the understanding of neonatology, newborn screening and breastfeeding through scholarly publications, hundreds of presentations, and decades spent educating new generations of medical students and pediatricians.
