IRVING, TX – The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation announced today the release of its new tribute video honoring North Texas healthcare employees titled “Together We Create a Better Community.” The video was produced due to the postponement of the DFWHC Foundation’s annual Employee of the Year Luncheon, an event dating back 25 years that has honored more than 1,200 exceptional hospital employees. Due to safety concerns, the 2022 luncheon was pushed to next year.

“The North Texas healthcare workforce has been bravely dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic for over two years,” said Jen Miff, president of the DFWHC Foundation. “It has been a difficult time with our employees suffering from burnout and frustration. This video is an attempt to not only honor our workforce, but to let them know their services are appreciated and necessary.”

Created by Agency Creative, the video was sponsored in part by Hall Render and BKD, LLP.

“The video is not just about the struggles of the pandemic,” said Sally Williams, Workforce Center Director at the DFWHC Foundation. “It’s about the crucial services our healthcare employees provide to the community. Their work is so important to the quality of life of our patients and their families. In so many ways, our North Texas healthcare workforce has grown stronger from the difficulties over the past two years. This video is our way of honoring their persistence and dedication.”
