We fund groundbreaking research, support medical professionals, and provide essential education to empower the Rio Grande Valley community and prevent future strokes.
South Texas faces unique healthcare challenges, including a disproportionately high risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. At SREF, we believe that world-class neurological care and education shouldn't require leaving the valley.
We are dedicated to bringing cutting-edge research, supporting local medical students, and teaching the community how to act F.A.S.T. to save lives.
