Texas Health Resources

So

I used to work at Texas Health in Plano.

And so majority of the time, that was all I was doing was newborn screens.

And so then when I left and one of the young ladies, she found out that I started my own business.

My name is Kimberly Washington.

I'm an HPB surgeon at Texas Health Resources and Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, and I'm also a member of the HPB work group of the SSO.

I'm delighted today to host this podcast discussing cholangiocarcinoma.

Joining me today for today's discussion is Dr.

Um, once the word went out that we were doing the Care to Fight Health and Wellness Fair, everybody wanted to jump on board.

We are grateful for our local hospitals that partner with us, Texas Health, JPS, uh, Baylor.

Everybody is on board to be able to do everything we can to help save and support lives.

And so yes, we will be offering COVID vaccines.

She needed surgery to stop severe bleeding from fibroids.

But to schedule it, Texas Health Resources required her to first pay some of the cost, $5,500.

I panicked because I live paycheck to paycheck.

I have no extra money whatsoever.

So I'd love to talk about that a little bit.

And we've had certifications inside companies like Texas Health and I want to talk about that a little bit and any other examples you could think of.

Let's start with this Turfi that we've done for YPO Dallas chapter now two years and another one is coming up.

Tell us about that.

Something similar could be brought in to companies as well.

But for now, we're doing it with YPO.

And as you mentioned, Texas Health, we also work with PSA, and they also allow us to build forums for their membership, which is kind of in line with where we're really on focus here now, where we really see.

A strong need and opportunity for both parties is bringing it as a member benefit to more associations.

Plano Fire Rescue was recognized by ICMA, which is definitely a worldwide organization for the service that it provides and the fact that it does not cost taxpayers anything.

It's underwritten by our medical partners, specifically Texas Health, because it does provide a long-term value both to the hospitals and to the patients.

So, you know, we're I feel personally grateful that we live in a community that is forward thinking and really says, what can we do to improve the lives of everyone that lives here, regardless of your age or your stage.

Right.
