It is with bittersweet sentiment to share that Sally Williams, DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation’s Workforce Center Director, will be retiring after 23 years at the company. Her retirement will be effective in August 2026.

“It has truly been an honor to work with the DFWHC Foundation and support the North Texas hospitals’ needs over the years,” said Williams. “While I am excited for this next chapter, I am equally committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. I will be staying on through my retirement date to assist with all handoffs and maintain continuity of service.”

Williams was instrumental in coordinating the DFWHC Foundation’s annual Employee of the Year Luncheon, an event that serves as a salute to the North Texas hospital workforce. On April 21, Williams and the DFWHC Foundation will be hosting the 28th annual luncheon at the Hurst Conference Center.

Williams and the DFWHC Foundation Workforce Center works collaboratively with hospitals, schools and other community stakeholders to meet the region’s healthcare workforce needs. These collaborations impact the training of healthcare workers, provide understanding of true workforce needs through data and regional tactics that ultimately provide patients with better care.

Some of the projects that Williams coordinated included the Next Gen Healthcare Industry Sector Partnership, Healthcare Employer Learning Consortium, numerous collaborative grants, training events, a centralized clinical placement system and healthcare staff recruitment.

“Our team is actively working to fill her role,” said Jen Miff, president of the DFWHC Foundation. “We want to ensure that we find the right person to continue providing the level of care and support our hospitals deserve.”
