ROBERT W. PRYOR, MD President and CEO, Scott & White Healthcare ALFRED B. KNIGHT, MD President, Scott & White Healthcare Foundation Meet New President and CEO Robert W. Pryor, MD past chief medical officer and chief operating officer of Scott & White, I’ve seen how our commitment to innovation and patient-centered healthcare is of the highest quality. For us, there is no substitute. That legacy, carried forward magnificently by (now president of the Scott & White Healthcare Foundation) Dr. Alfred B. Knight for the past decade, will continue into the future. We are accountable to our patients and the communities we serve. You can depend on us to care for your families and neighbors. It is why we are here. Our commitment to you is that we will continue to work harder and smarter to meet all your healthcare needs, because of the loyalty you have shown us and because we simply wouldn’t have it any other way. I look forward to leading one of the nation’s most respected multispecialty practice healthcare systems toward its vision of becoming the most Trusted and the most Valued name in American Healthcare. This is very important to me. It’s not just the health of individuals that matters; it’s also the health of our communities. We’re all related in that sense, because the health of one person affects the lives of so many others. In future issues, we’ll be sharing with you more ways we’ll fulfill Scott & White’s mission of providing the most personalized, comprehensive, and high-quality healthcare, enhanced by medical education and research. We couldn’t do it without the generous support of our friends, volunteers, donors, and other constituencies who are on our side. Thank you for extending such a gracious response to me in my new role. And always feel free to contact me with your thoughts. As NANCY L.
