Hear from the experts! – TQI leaders discuss annual meeting

Discussing opportunities of the DFW Hospital Council Foundation’s Texas Quality Initiative (TQI), leaders of the organization filmed a video in February to promote its Annual Conference on May 11 at the UT Southwestern Medical Center’s William P. Clements, Jr. University Hospital in Dallas.

TQI Co-Chairs Dr. Baron Hamman of Texas Health Heart and Vascular Hospital, Dr. Steves Ring of UT Southwestern and Dr. James Edgerton of the Heart Hospital Baylor Plano sat down for the four-minute video to discuss the upcoming conference.
