Deadlines are rapidly approaching for the DFW Hospital Council’s (DFWHC) 74th Annual Awards Luncheon on October 21 at the Irving Convention Center, our first in-person event since 2019.

Sponsorships are available through Friday, Sept. 30. This is a great opportunity to get your company’s name before the hospitals of North Texas in addition to honoring this year’s award recipients.

Executive Sponsorships can be found here.

Deadline to purchase tables or tickets is Friday, Oct. 14. They can be found here.

This year’s recipients include:

• Distinguished Health Service Award, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson;

• Kerney Laday, Sr. Trustee of the Year, Dorothy DeBose, chair of the board at JPS Health Network.

Jessica Long, one of America’s most decorated Paralympic champions, will serve as keynote speaker. Jessica was born in Siberia and placed for adoption at 13 months old. Sadly, her legs were amputated below the knee due to a rare bone disorder. She was adopted by American parents to eventually become one of the most decorated athletes in U.S. history. Jessica’s life served as the inspiration for the famous 2021 Super Bowl commercial highlighting her connections to her family.

John Liddle, who serves as a news anchor at NewsRadio KRLD 1080 AM, will perform this year’s National Anthem to open the event. Liddle has previously performed the National Anthem for the Texas Rangers, the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Wings.

We hope to see you at an event attracting North Texas healthcare attendees united in the belief better health makes a better community!
