Rey Feo 77 brings Fiesta spirit to University Health patients

SAN ANTONIO – Rey Feo 77, Dr. Damaso Oliva, spent Tuesday morning visiting young patients at University Health Women’s and Children’s Hospital ahead of Fiesta 2026.

Olivia handed out medals, took photos and spoke with patients. He used the opportunitys to spotlight education scholarships, mentorship and neighborhood programs as a way to “light the path” for kids’ futures.

Hospital staff said the kids loved it.

“We try to inspire and ignite this passion for learning within our children of San Antonio,” Oliva said. “So we want to further their education, we want them to become the best versions of themselves, and we do that through education.”
