Bay Area Regional Honors CEO Tim Schmidt with Executive Board Room Dedication
The board room adjacent to administration in Bay Area Regional will now hold a new title, in honor of CEO, Tim
Schmidt.
The board room dedication recognizes Tim Schmidt’s innovative vision and outstanding leadership and explains,
“Under Tim’s guidance, Bay Area Regional has grown from a tiny acorn into a beautiful blossoming tree – His vision
of an OAK tree. With a focus on physician collaboration, employee culture, patient satisfaction and community
outreach, Tim helped make Bay Area Regional into the hospital it is today and poised for growth in the future. We
are all truly grateful for his unfailing strength and dedication to the success of Bay Area Regional.”
Mr. Monzer Hourani and The Hourani Family dedicated the board room to Tim Schmidt as a token of honor and
respect, as Schmidt has worked through a tough battle of sarcoma cancer.
The hospital has rallied behind Schmidt, a reflection of the hospital’s culture, with green bracelets that say, “Tim
Strong – No one fights alone.”
Schmidt’s vision of the oak tree signified all of the working parts for a hospital from the roots to leaves; everyone
working in harmony for the hospital to grow and flourish. He implemented OAK Awards (Outstanding Acts of
Kindness) as a recognition tool for employees.
Hourani said, “Tim is our hero – he is special. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tim as he has led the
hospital to achieve many designations and accreditations, and to be the hospital of choice for families in the
Houston Bay Area.”
A dedication ceremony was held April 5, 2017 with employees and physicians to honor the departing CEO.
