Lives at a crossroads
get a fresh start
M
any people, if given a chance to start over, would eagerly accept it. In this new
year, I’m pleased to announce new services that will allow our patients to do
just that. We’ve added deeper cardiac expertise to better serve patients with
advanced heart failure. We’re investigating a promising new drug to help women with
breast cancer. And we’re helping thousands of citizens in Central Texas with advanced
ear, nose, and throat care—in some cases giving patients a chance to rediscover their
speech or hearing.
As we celebrate the new Advanced Heart Failure Clinic and heart transplant
program, we’ve asked world-renowned congenital heart surgeon Dr. Constantine
Mavroudis to share his perspective on cardiac surgery. It gives us a chance to view the
specialty through the lens of someone who helped pave the way for pediatric
cardiovascular surgery to become what it is today. This is especially timely as we look
forward to the arrival of the new Children’s Hospital at Scott & White this fall, and
the promise that will be given to children and families nearby.
Dr. James Rohack walks us through the new health reform law and outlines Scott
& White’s efforts to help lead the industry’s response while ensuring that patients
receive the best care possible. He shares a passion for patient care with Vision
Campaign chairman Ross McKnight, whose good works are an extraordinary example
of dedication to Scott & White.
We are blessed with a commitment from leaders—at Scott & White and in
the community—who believe strongly in the promise of advanced medical care at
Scott & White.
