2 From the Chair
“ If Winter comes, c a n Spring be far behind?” The poet Shelley must never have lived in Texas! Here such seasonal changes happen weekly, and we hardly know what to expect from one day to the next. But that makes each day an adventure and gets our juices flowing to greet the day, make a list, get things done!
This torch will certainly help get your juices flowing and maybe even inspire a list or two. You’ ll enjoy reading a great profile about Jim Hinton, Baylor Scott & White Health’ s new CEO who has just taken the position after Joel Allison’ s retirement. You’ ll read about our amazing child life specialists who help children when a parent or loved one is facing scary medical issues here at Baylor.
You can also look for your name – and I do hope you are there – on a list of all donors for 2016 who have given $ 2,500 or
more! If you are not listed, you can be on the 2017 list!!! We cherish all our donors, large and small, as every dollar makes a difference in the health and well-being of all who come to Baylor. So, put us on your to-do list and give( again) this year. You’ ll feel great pride in knowing you have done something good!
Some donations deserve more than a listing, so you will also read and marvel at all the wonderful things happening at the Institute for Nursing Innovation thanks to an amazing gift from Anne and Harris Clark.
I hope you never need to come to one of our amazing hospitals or outpatient clinics, but I know that if you do, you will find the care, compassion and quality medical attention that you need from everyone you encounter at Baylor.
My wish for you is health, happiness and a lively spring in your step – as Lilly Pulitzer said,“ Despite the forecast, live like it’ s Spring.”
Margo Goodwin Chair, Board of Directors Baylor Health Care System Foundation
