Donor and friend of SFA Bill Truman Teague passed away Dec. 25, 2020 in Nacogdoches.
Teague grew up in Abilene and graduated from Hardin Simmons University with a bachelor’s degree in medical technology. In 1960, he was commissioned into the U.S. Army. Upon completion of his military obligation, Teague moved to Galveston, where he enrolled in the Blood Bank Specialty course at the University of Texas Medical Branch. He joined Ortho Diagnostics in New Jersey, where he worked with a team of medical professionals to develop RhoGam, a drug for Rh negative mothers that helps protect their unborn babies.
In 1975, he was hired by the Harris County Medical Society as the founding CEO of Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center in Houston, a position he held until his retirement in 2006 and then was named president emeritus of the blood center. Teague was one of the few non-physicians to serve as president of the American Association of Blood Banks.
After his family’s move to Nacogdoches during his retirement, he was named to the SFASU Foundation Board of Trustees.
