With the Wyatt family’s generous support, a $1 million Ertan Gastroenterology Endowed Chair was established at the UTH McGovern Medical School [project #11563] in 2015. Also, a $1 million Chao Family Foundation donation matched by the Memorial Hermann Hospital System [MHHS] and a $2 million Ertan – Chao Endowed Directorship [project #902069] was established for the Ertan Digestive Disease Center of Excellence in 2018.

After the significant success of the Ertan Digestive Disease Center of Excellence since 2011, the framework is completed to establish the Houston Digestive Health Institute [HDHI] – a model that would be the first of its kind in Texas. The HDHI was strongly supported by the UTMMS and the MHHS for the tri-fold mission of multidisciplinary and integrated academic health care delivery, clinical research and postgraduate education with highest quality metrics by the outstanding UTMMS academicians in gastroenterology, hepatology, liver/pancreas transplantation surgery, GI and bariatric surgery, GI pathology and GI anesthesiology.
