Published: October 18, 2018
Dr. Deanna M. Hoelscher, has been named regional dean of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Public Health in Austin, beginning Sept. 1. She will succeed Dr. Cheryl L. Perry, who has been serving as regional dean since the school’s Austin campus was established in 2007.
“Dr. Perry has built the Austin campus to be a pearl of population health research and education for Texas,” says Dr. Eric Boerwinkle, dean of UTHealth School of Public Health, which has six campuses in major cities across Texas. “Her intellect, hard work and compassion for the people that she works with is a model for us all. Fortunately, Cheryl is not retiring but rather only stepping down as regional dean so that she can better focus on her own research and mentoring. I look forward to continuing to work with her.”
