The Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council (DFWHC) hosted its third Speed Networking Event of the year today at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The complimentary breakfast session from 8:30-10:30 a.m. was a sellout, attended by more than 50 area healthcare employees including Richard Gilder of Baylor Scott & White Health, Dr. Sushma Sharma of the DFWHC Foundation, Matt Jones of Balfour Beatty Construction, Beverly Kohrs of the American Diabetes Association, Jeff Coulson of HCA North Texas and Joshua Weaver of Polsinelli.





There were also employees from UT Southwestern Medical Center, University of Texas at Dallas, Dallas County Community College District, Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Parkland Health & Hospital System.

“The speed networking exercise has grown into a popular activity for our hospital and associate members,” said W. Stephen Love, president/CEO of DFWHC. “This has evolved into an innovative and enjoyable way to provide value to our members.”

In the coordinated sessions, after five minutes a bell rings and attendees move to the next chair to meet a new healthcare contact. Following the event, a list of attendees will be made available to all participants. A fourth Speed Networking Event is being planned for November.
