Excellence We’ve already witnessed how our partners—individuals, communities, and organizations—can rally to our efforts to enhance healthcare services for children and adults. One example is through the successful completion of the McLane Children’s Hospital Scott & White, which raised $38 million, and our ongoing efforts to build the pediatric multispecialty clinic. We’re counting on continued collaboration and passion from all of our partners to help ensure that the highest-caliber medical care can be delivered, right here and right now. “We’ve been successful through partnerships and collaborative efforts with the communities we serve,” says Robert W. Pryor, MD, MBA, president and chief executive officer of Scott & White Healthcare. “The new era in healthcare delivery demands we continue to offer patients the right care at the right time in the right place. We must step up and meet the challenges of the future, and that means taking action now.” “We will continue to empower excellence, champion progress, and embrace innovation in healthcare,” says Alfred B. Knight, MD, president of the Scott & White Healthcare Foundation. “It’s about providing access, availability, and patient-centered care to the families of Central Texas with treatments and cures that are enhanced at Scott & White.” Five strategic capital priorities now under way are visible examples of ways we’ll continue to deliver exceptional care. We will also focus on important opportunities like nursing programs, education, and research initiatives, and other patient-critical activities. We maintain our focus on these essential areas as we work together to build a healthy future for all. Let’s build even more momentum to move forward! We’ve already raised $42 million toward our $125 million goal, and are counting on the support of our extended Scott & White family to meet the healthcare needs of all generations.
