Heather Davis-Lopez, a clinical assistant professor in UTRGV’s Physician Assistant Studies Program, is one of 15 physician associates named a 2026 America’s Top PA by Point of Care Network (POCN), a professional network for nurse practitioners and physician associates.

“Being named one of America’s Top PAs is an incredible honor, but what makes this recognition especially meaningful is the opportunity to represent the profession and the community that have given me so much,” Davis-Lopez said.

October is National Physical Therapy Month! 💪

At UT Health RGV, physical therapists Desiree French and Alex Alejandro help patients regain strength, improve mobility and return to the activities they enjoy.

For Desiree, the impact of physical therapy goes beyond physical recovery.

“Being able to help someone regain their confidence, return to the activities they enjoy, and improve their quality of life is incredibly meaningful and rewarding to me.”

Thank you, Desiree and Alex, for the difference you make in the lives of our patients every day! 🧡
