North Texas Partnership brings together hospital leaders
Attendees at May 21 meeting.
On May 21, the North Texas Next Gen Healthcare Industry Partnership was launched with 25 North Texas hospital industry leaders and 13 community partners in attendance. The launch was hosted by Texas Health Resources at their corporate headquarters in Arlington.
The partnership brings together leaders from health systems and hospitals across North Texas to discuss how to move forward together on strategic regional opportunities. Industry leaders discussed technology, innovation, workforce, precision medicine and infrastructure/transportation. All of these issues will require broad community collaboration to move the sector forward.
Community partners listened to leaders discuss the industry and considered how their expertise could be leveraged to support industry-led goals. Coordinators of this effort are the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC) and Dallas College.
Vanessa Walls, Chief Market Executive, Northern Market with Children’s Health and DFWHC Board Chair; and John Phillips, President of Methodist Dallas Medical Center, kicked off the meeting. They were followed by a welcome from Stephen Love, President/CEO of DFWHC; and Dr. Justin Lonon, Chancellor of Dallas College.
