When Gratitude Becomes a Gift

From his first work as an architectural intern — a hospital project in Amarillo, Texas — to his founding of Medica Development, LLC, Bill Persefield has forged a 49-year career as a renowned health care architect. Persefield’s goal is to work with only the best on his hospital ventures, and he asked the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) to partner in helping deliver quality, innovative health care.

He and his wife, Ellen (TTU ’81), have included TTUHSC and the Texas Tech University Huckabee College of Architecture in their estate planning. Their most recent planned gift will establish a scholarship endowment to help ensure TTUHSC continues to recruit and train the caliber of health care providers for which it has gained a statewide reputation.

“Because of my deep love for the university and what it did for us, I wanted to continue to give so others may benefit through our gifts, service, and commitment.”
