IN MEMORIAM

Phillip W. Voltz, Jr, MD

July 24, 1929 - May 1, 2025

With heavy hearts, we share the news that Dr. Phillip
William Voltz Jr, MD, 1975 BCMS President, passed
away peacefully at home on May 1, 2025, at the age of
95. We are grateful for his dedicated service with the
Bexar County Medical Society and for the San Antonio
community.
In 1959, Dr. Voltz moved to San Antonio, where
he became a founding force in diagnostic radiology
and nuclear medicine at Christus Santa Rosa Hospital.
He later served as Clinical Associate Professor at
the University of Texas Health Science Center at
San Antonio, mentoring generations of physicians.
Dr. Voltz was one of the founding partners of Radiology
Associates, which later transitioned to South Texas
Radiology Imaging Center (STRIC), and now has 22
facilities serving the San Antonio area. He served as
President of the Texas Radiological Society and was
awarded its highest honor, the Gold Medal, in 1997.
In 1975, Dr. Voltz was elected the 77th President of the
Bexar County Medical Society, guiding the organization
through the Texas malpractice insurance crisis. Throughout
his BCMS membership, he served on various committees
and boards, including the Executive Board, Delegation to
TMA, and Patient Relations Committee. He remains the
only physician recognized as both the youngest and, in
later years, the oldest serving BCMS president.
Bexar County Medical Society extends its deepest
condolences to the Voltz family and friends. Dr. Phillip
Voltz leaves behind a lasting impact on his community
and is fondly remembered by his fellow physicians.
