The future of pediatric care IS RIGHT HERE T he promise of better lives. The chance to grow up, to be happy and healthy. That’s what children deserve. And that’s why we’re committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that kids have easy access to the best pediatric healthcare services. Scott & White Healthcare is pleased to announce the new Children’s Hospital at Scott & White, dedicated to meeting the needs of all children. The Children’s Hospital at Scott & White will be a place where children and families can find hope and can heal together. Our vision is to enhance the high-quality pediatric care we already offer, with a breadth and depth of pediatric expertise for all families in the region. We’ve asked Dr. John Boyd, an experienced administrator and pediatrician, to lead the healthcare system’s efforts to create a regional state-of-the-art children’s hospital to serve patients and families for generations to come. Colt McCoy, the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback draft pick, is enthusiastic about his involvement and is a wonderful role model for all children, especially those who are ill or injured. This special issue of THE CATALYST details our plans for development: our patient care philosophy, clinical and academic teams, family-centered programs, and partnerships with people like you and organizations that will help us make this dream a reality for children everywhere. Please join us. ALFRED B. KNIGHT, MD President and CEO, Scott & White Healthcare ON THE COVER—Colt McCoy, campaign advocate, and patient Drayton McLane IV. 2 THE CATALYST Fall 10 | sw.org
