Dear Supporters and Friends of Baylor College of Medicine:

You make up an important community that sustains Baylor’s efforts to train a new generation of world-class leaders in medicine, develop life-changing treatments and deliver exceptional patient care. It is my pleasure to share how your contributions impacted our work in our fiscal year 2024 EMPOWER Impact Report. What we achieve is possible only through your partnership and generosity.  

With your support, the College received more than $169 million in FY24 — a remarkable vote of confidence in the work we are doing. For the College, philanthropy is transformational, and we are honored by your willingness to support our people and programs. In FY24, your support helped Baylor continue construction of the Lillie and Roy Cullen Tower, the new home for the School of Medicine and School of Health Professions. We continue to develop the Michael E. DeBakey Health Sciences Park, recruit leading cancer researchers, support women’s and children’s health globally and much more. I hope you enjoy reading about the successes that philanthropy has made possible. 

On a recent trip to Africa, I had the opportunity to reflect on Baylor’s global reach, whether it is eliminating maternal-fetal transmission in Botswana, screening for cervical cancer in Malawi, or eliminating complications of maternal delivery in the Gambia. Baylor is making a difference in the lives of people worldwide. We could not do this without the support of donors like you.

Now, approaching its 125th year, Baylor continues to lead in research, education, healthcare and community outreach. You are helping Baylor advance tomorrow’s medicine today and every day. Thank you for your support. 

– Paul Klotman, M.D.
