N
ow more than ever, investing in the future is critically important. As the
nation grapples with economic uncertainty, we must be sure to take care of
the best assets we have—ourselves, our neighbors and those we love. It’s an
investment in our community and in our future that’s on my mind these days. I’m
proud to share with you in this issue of THE CATALYST some of the exciting things
Scott & White Healthcare is achieving to help shape and protect the health of people
of Central Texas. These activities also will help us reach our Vision of becoming the
most Trusted and the most Valued name in American Healthcare.
We’ve recently opened the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of
Medicine Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the Scott & White West Campus in
Temple, TX. It holds the key to unleashing groundbreaking discoveries in adult stem
cell research and tissue repair. We are so pleased to welcome internationally renowned
scientist Darwin Prockop, MD, PhD, and his team of researchers. Advances in
regenerative medicine can help patients of all ages.
You’ll also read about our efforts to take care of our greatest generation—our
seniors. And a young patient who is taking charge of her life after experiencing some
health issues many people can relate to.
We also have some exciting news! The Scott & White Healthcare Auxiliary has
announced a pledge of $1 million, an investment that will benefit patients now and
in the future. Read on to learn more about their generosity, and how our investment
in each of you will produce a return beyond compare.
