George Flores

My name is George Flores. I’m a 4th year medical student from the UH Fertitta College of Medicine. I am originally from San Antonio and have a lot of family in the RGV. I want to apply to Family Medicine Residency and work with working class Latinos and migrant health in South Texas. My interests are history, political science, economics, weightlifting, cooking, and movies. I’m looking forward to a great time working at DHR!

Trayce Gray

Trayce Isaiah Gray is a fourth-year medical student at the University of Houston College of Medicine and a proud member of its inaugural class. Born and raised in Beaumont, Texas, he grew up in a low-income, underserved community where access to healthcare was limited but resilience was a way of life. Before medicine, Trayce worked long hours at the Port of Beaumont as a barge cleaner and in an industrial paint warehouse, experiences that strengthened his work ethic and connection to the community that raised him. A former Division I football player at Lamar University, he learned the values of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance that now define his approach to patient care. Inspired by his own injuries and the mentors who helped him recover, he is pursuing a career in orthopaedic surgery and has applied this year, where he hopes to combine skill, service, and mentorship to expand musculoskeletal care and opportunity in communities like his own.
