HANSEN Photography elcome to the first edition of Catalyst, our newly designed Scott & White magazine. The name reflects the passion we feel about our work, our patients and where we’re headed in the future. A catalyst is something that produces a reaction to ignite a response. We hope to do just that with our readers. Our goal is to inspire you to become more involved in healthcare, by giving you relevant and interesting information to deepen your understanding about your own and your family’s health. We also want you to become more familiar with the exciting things happening at Scott & White.
