Caring for North Texas before care is needed.
Texas Health Resources has maintained a
long tradition of improving the health of
the communities it serves. In fact, Texas
Health cares for one in four North Texans.
In addition to compassionate, sophisticated
medical care and excellent physicians on
the medical staff, Texas Health is also caring
for local communities, employees, and
businesses in ways you might not expect
from this health care leader. Through
strategic partnerships and new initiatives,
Texas Health’s goal is to be one of the
region’s top community leaders.
A Great Place to Work
As the largest employer in all of North
Texas, Texas Health takes pride in creating
a quality work environment. Because
they know that caring for patients
starts with caring for its employees as
individuals. And size is not a deterrent
to establishing and maintaining healthy
work environments. Texas Health has
been recognized as the “#1 Place to
Work” by the Dallas Business Journal

and among the “2013 Best Employers
for Healthy Lifestyles” by the National
Business Group on Health. In an industry
so heavily dependent on bedside manner,
maintaining employee satisfaction is a
priority at Texas Health.
Giving Back to North Texas
With the largest health care presence
in the region including 25 hospitals
spanning 16 counties, Texas Health serves
more than 6.2 million people. That’s
6.2 million reasons why community
matters. So Texas Health is leading
the way with transparency both in
business practices and outcomes. In
2013 they were awarded the “Texas
Award for Performance Excellence” by
the Quality Texas Foundation. And by
creating partnerships with like-minded
organizations, Texas Health and its
partners are providing innovations
for better patient care all along the
continuum, from prevention all the way
to home health.

Committed Business Partner
North Texas businesses lose roughly
$16 billion each year due to employee
health issues.1 Texas Health is committed
to helping employers curb costs and
improve the health of their work force.
How? By partnering with Healthways, a
national leader in providing comprehensive
health and well-being solutions, to
improve the overall well-being and health of
employees across North Texas. Because
healthier employees contribute more
to their jobs, their families, and their
communities. Bottom line, it means
improved productivity, less absenteeism,
and stronger employee retention.
What does this all mean for North Texas?
For Texas Health, it means dedicated
employees, businesses, and local citizens
all working together to create a
happier, healthier community. For more
