The Herff Society honors the legacy of Dr. Ferdinand Ludwig Herff, a founding physician of Santa Ros infirmary. Born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1820, Dr. Herff emigrated to Texas in 1847. He helped form the Bexar County Medical Society in 1853, and in 1869, he became one of the first physicians in San Antonio to associate with Santa Rosa Infirmary.
A renowned physician, Dr. Herff is credited with performing Texas’ first appendectomy in 1818, followed by the nation’s earliest gastrostomy in 1879. He also served as the first dean of Santa Rosa, School of Nursing that opened in 1903. Dr. Herff performed his last surgery at age of 87 and died at his home on the San Antonio River in 1912. Five generations of Doctors Herff have served this community and Santa Rosa since 1850.
In honorary of Dr. Herff, and the physicians who contribute to our ministry each day, the Herff Society provides all physicians active and retired, the opportunity to financially invest in CHRISTIS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos.
Physicians who make a gift of $1,000 or more will be recognized on the Herff Society panel and on the Annual Giving panel on the Wall of Honor.

Every Baby Matters Mission (EBMM) is a free home visitation program offered to mothers whose infants are born at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital – San Marcos (CSRH-SM). Participating families are visited by a registered nurse who provides a medical assessment on mother and baby and parenting education.

Also, the program addresses medical and emotional risks in mother and baby and links families with community resources.
