SUMMARY:DFWHC and Konica Minolta webinar "Cybersecurity Awareness"
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) and Konica Minolta will co-host the webinar “Cybersecurity Awareness: Think like and Attacker” on Thursday\, January 22 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, CDT.\n\nSpeakers will include Jake Reynolds\, Offensive Securities Services Director at Depth Security; and Stephen Love\, President/CEO of DFWHC.\n\nDuring this session\, the speakers walk through how real-world adversaries identify weaknesses\, gain initial access\, escalate privileges\, and ultimately compromise critical systems. Instead of high-level theory\, this webinar focuses on the exact tactics\, techniques\, and misconfigurations that have been exploited during past healthcare penetration tests\, red team operations\, and adversary emulation engagements. The speakers will take you behind the scenes of actual engagements to demonstrate how attackers think and how they break in.\n\nBy the end of this session\, you’ll walk away with:  \n•	A clearer understanding of where your security posture might fall short;\n•	Tactical steps you can take to improve defenses immediately;\n•	Firsthand examples of how attackers think\, how they choose targets\, and how they chain vulnerabilities together to gain control of environments;\n•	Real stories from past healthcare assessments\, and clear insights into how these techniques can be prevented in your own environment.\n\nYou can register here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Chris Wilson at chrisw@dfwhc.org.

SUMMARY:DFWHC and TWU webinar "Hospital Workforce Funding"
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) and Texas Woman’s University (TWU) Dallas will co-host the webinar “Don’t miss the moment: Workforce funding your Texas hospital can use now to solve critical staffing shortages” on Thursday\, January 15 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, CDT.\n\nSpeakers will include Monica Christopher\, President\, TWU Dallas; James Aubrey\, Founder and CEO of Skilltrade; and Stephen Love\, President/CEO of DFWHC.\n\nThis complimentary webinar will detail how Texas hospitals are losing millions each year due to vacancies\, agency staffing and delayed hiring.

Vacancy rates remain high\, agency costs continue to increase\, and hiring qualified talent takes longer than ever. New state and federal workforce funding\, including Workforce Pell\, Texas Workforce Board dollars\, and the $5\,250 employer education tax benefit\, now offer a way to reduce labor costs and build faster\, more reliable talent pipelines.\n\nThis webinar is intended for CEOs\, CHROs\, CNOs\, COOs\, Workforce and Talent leaders\, Clinical Operations leaders\, HR Directors\, and anyone responsible for reducing vacancies\, controlling labor costs\, or developing internal workforce pipelines.\n\nYou can register here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Chris Wilson at chrisw@dfwhc.org.

SUMMARY:Dallas Heart Walk 2025
DESCRIPTION:The American Heart Association is announcing the new location for the 2025 Dallas Heart Walk. The annual 1-mile or 5k walk is moving from its long-time location at Reunion Tower Lawn in downtown Dallas to the beautiful Levy Event Plaza on the banks of Lake Carolyn in Irving-Las Colinas. Thousands of annual participants are already registering to lace up and walk near the water this year.\n\nThe City of Irving is enthusiastic about hosting the event. “We are honored to welcome the iconic Dallas Heart Walk to our community and showcase our commitment to promoting health and wellness in our city\,” said Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer. “We look forward to seeing everyone come together with the American Heart Association to unite our community in saving lives.”\n\nStephen Love\, President and CEO of DFW Hospital Council\, headquartered in Irving-Las Colinas and board chair for the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce added\, “The relocation of the Dallas Heart Walk reflects Irving-Las Colinas’ reputation as a premier destination focused on community engagement opportunities. Anchored by Lake Carolyn in the heart of Irving’s Las Colinas Urban Center\, Levy Event Plaza will provide a picturesque setting that will enhance the experience for participants.”\n\nHeart Walks across the United States help serve a vital purpose: to combat heart disease and stroke. This year\, the Heart Walk Nation of Lifesavers™ campaign aims to create a community of lifesavers through Hands-Only CPR training and awareness. Nine out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of the hospital do not survive. In most cases\, bystander CPR was not performed – wasting precious\, potentially lifesaving minutes. Through fundraising\, community education and corporate engagement\, communities enhance CPR training accessibility\, bolster bystander preparedness\, increase funding for vital research\, and ultimately\, save lives.\n\nThis year-long effort culminates in the community celebration that is Dallas Heart Walk on October 18th at the Levy Event Plaza. Teams across North Texas are buzzing about the new location and its convenience for their coworkers\, families\, and friends. The American Heart Association is celebrating the new walk route and the ability to accommodate current and future growth as more people join the mission each year. Walkers can select either the non-competitive three-mile or one-mile route. Both options begin at the starting line at 9 am\, but thousands gather as early as 7:30 for pre-event fun where walkers of all ages are welcome\, and there is even a dedicated area for furry four-legged walkers.\n\nThe Heart Walk is also moving a few weeks out and kicking off in October\, closer to fall weather after many wonderful Heart Walks in the lingering Texas heat of September. This annual walk joins other DFW must-do family-friendly events whose 2025 location change will accommodate upcoming City of Dallas construction plans. The Association’s Heart Walks in North Texas\, which typically occur simultaneously across the Metroplex from one another\, will be on separate days in 2025. The Tarrant County Heart Walk will be on September 20th at the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth.\n\nEvery walker who joins an American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and every dollar donated means more people trained in lifesaving CPR\, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. The American Heart Association\, a Dallas-based nonprofit\, has been a leading source of health information for a century\, and its relentless effort has led to significant medical advancements. They encourage companies\, organizations\, and community teams across Dallas and Fort Worth to engage by starting Heart Walk teams and making a difference in the fight against heart disease.\n\nFor more information and to register\, visit the 2025 Dallas Heart Walk event site.

SUMMARY:Fort Worth Heart Walk 2025
DESCRIPTION:The American Heart Association is announcing the new location for the 2025 Dallas Heart Walk. The annual 1-mile or 5k walk is moving from its long-time location at Reunion Tower Lawn in downtown Dallas to the beautiful Levy Event Plaza on the banks of Lake Carolyn in Irving-Las Colinas. Thousands of annual participants are already registering to lace up and walk near the water this year.\n\nThe City of Irving is enthusiastic about hosting the event. “We are honored to welcome the iconic Dallas Heart Walk to our community and showcase our commitment to promoting health and wellness in our city\,” said Irving Mayor Rick Stopfer. “We look forward to seeing everyone come together with the American Heart Association to unite our community in saving lives.”\n\nStephen Love\, President and CEO of DFW Hospital Council\, headquartered in Irving-Las Colinas and board chair for the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce added\, “The relocation of the Dallas Heart Walk reflects Irving-Las Colinas’ reputation as a premier destination focused on community engagement opportunities. Anchored by Lake Carolyn in the heart of Irving’s Las Colinas Urban Center\, Levy Event Plaza will provide a picturesque setting that will enhance the experience for participants.”\n\nHeart Walks across the United States help serve a vital purpose: to combat heart disease and stroke. This year\, the Heart Walk Nation of Lifesavers™ campaign aims to create a community of lifesavers through Hands-Only CPR training and awareness. Nine out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside of the hospital do not survive. In most cases\, bystander CPR was not performed – wasting precious\, potentially lifesaving minutes. Through fundraising\, community education and corporate engagement\, communities enhance CPR training accessibility\, bolster bystander preparedness\, increase funding for vital research\, and ultimately\, save lives.\n\nThis year-long effort culminates in the community celebration that is Dallas Heart Walk on October 18th at the Levy Event Plaza. Teams across North Texas are buzzing about the new location and its convenience for their coworkers\, families\, and friends. The American Heart Association is celebrating the new walk route and the ability to accommodate current and future growth as more people join the mission each year. Walkers can select either the non-competitive three-mile or one-mile route. Both options begin at the starting line at 9 am\, but thousands gather as early as 7:30 for pre-event fun where walkers of all ages are welcome\, and there is even a dedicated area for furry four-legged walkers.\n\nThe Heart Walk is also moving a few weeks out and kicking off in October\, closer to fall weather after many wonderful Heart Walks in the lingering Texas heat of September. This annual walk joins other DFW must-do family-friendly events whose 2025 location change will accommodate upcoming City of Dallas construction plans. The Association’s Heart Walks in North Texas\, which typically occur simultaneously across the Metroplex from one another\, will be on separate days in 2025. The Tarrant County Heart Walk will be on September 20th at the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth.\n\nEvery walker who joins an American Heart Association’s Heart Walk and every dollar donated means more people trained in lifesaving CPR\, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone. The American Heart Association\, a Dallas-based nonprofit\, has been a leading source of health information for a century\, and its relentless effort has led to significant medical advancements. They encourage companies\, organizations\, and community teams across Dallas and Fort Worth to engage by starting Heart Walk teams and making a difference in the fight against heart disease.\n\nFor more information and to register\, visit the 2025 Dallas Heart Walk event site.

SUMMARY:DFWHC and Adaptive Workforce Solutions webinar "Strategic Workforce Models"
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) and Adaptive Workforce Solutions will co-host the webinar “Beyond Headcount: Strategic Workforce Models for Hospitals Navigating the post-OBBB Era” on Thursday\, July 31 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.\, CDT.\n\nSpeakers will include Julie O’Keefe\, President/CEO of Adaptive Workforce Solutions; and Stephen Love\, President/CEO of DFWHC.\n\nThe recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) has introduced a new operating environment for hospitals—one characterized by increased reimbursement volatility\, reductions in Medicaid payments\, and heightened scrutiny of mechanisms like the 340B program. For non-Medicaid expansion states such as Texas\, these changes have serious implications for workforce planning. This webinar explores how hospitals can deploy alternative labor models to maintain service levels while navigating funding contractions and operational uncertainty.\n\nYou can register here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Chris Wilson at chrisw@dfwhc.org.
