Thank You All! continued campaign highlights McLane Children’s Hospital Scott & White—The McLane Children’s Hospital Scott & White is the area’s only acute care pediatric facility between Dallas and Austin. A deep bench of pediatric specialists in more than 30 pediatric medical and surgical specialties is helping more patients and families receive the care children need near their homes. “A family-centered care approach and a talented staff who love children are making each child’s experience a little bit easier, too,” says John Boyd III, MD, MBA, McLane Children’s Hospital Scott & White CEO and chief medical officer. Nursing Scholarships: Mark of Excellence in Nursing—The late Mack D. Duce of Dallas always appreciated the expertise of nurses. He was a 50-year patient at Scott & White and during his lifetime, understood the challenges of maintaining a team of highly-skilled nurses at such a large institution. Over several decades he awarded annual scholarships to nursing students at Scott & White. In 2005, he and his wife, Leora Duce, PhD, established the Mack and Leora Duce Mark of Excellence in Nursing scholarship, which awards scholarship money to three graduation-bound nursing students in Central Texas programs supported by Scott & White. “Each year, we’d travel to Scott & White for our annual checkups through the Executive Health Program. It was my husband’s dream to support nursing care—he was passionate about it,” says Dr. Duce. 10 The Catalyst Winter/Spring 12 | sw.org Endowed Chairs, Professorships, and Lectureships Funded Before and During the Greater Century Campaign and the Vision Campaign Professorships Donald R.
