SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Foundation's 24th Annual Employee of the Year Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:It is with great regret the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation announced today the cancellation of the in-person segment of the 24th Annual Employee of the Year Luncheon scheduled for September 16 at the Hurst Conference Center.\n\nWhile the Luncheon has been cancelled\, virtual recognition of hospital employees and award recipients will still take place\, with a video to be created honoring the many healthcare heroes working so diligently during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n“In discussions with our board of trustees\, we decided it was in the best interest for all involved if the Employee of the Year Luncheon was cancelled due to the COVID-19 virus\,” said Jennifer Miff\, president of the DFWHC Foundation. “This was not an easy decision\, as it has never been more important for us to honor our North Texas healthcare heroes working tirelessly during this pandemic. Since the luncheon attracts approximately 800 attendees\, we believe in the current COVID-19 environment such a gathering would not be a good public health decision.”\n\nThe 100-plus nominees provided to the DFWHC Foundation team will still be judged and awarded. Announcements and a virtual video honoring these hospital employees will be available in September.\n\nNew\, decreased sponsorship packages have been developed with recognition to be provided during the virtual video celebration. Sponsors already participating will have the option to stay at their current contribution or adjust to a Gold ($1\,000) or Silver ($750) level.\n\nFor questions\, please contact EOY@dfwhcfoundation.org.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - DFWHC's 72nd Annual Awards Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:It is with great regret the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) announced today the cancellation of its in-person 72nd Annual Awards Luncheon originally scheduled for October 14 at the Irving Convention Center.\n\nWhile the Luncheon has been cancelled\, virtual recognition of the recipients of the Distinguished Health Service Award\, Young Healthcare Executive of the Year Award and the Kerney Laday\, Sr. Trustee of the Year Award will still take place\, with a video to be created honoring these important friends of healthcare.\n\n“Following a meeting with our board of trustees\, we decided it was in the best interest for all involved if the Annual Awards Luncheon was cancelled due to the COVID-19 virus\,” said Stephen Love\, president/CEO of DFWHC. “It was not an easy decision to cancel an event that has honored so many heroes over the decades who have supported quality healthcare in North Texas. Since the luncheon attracts approximately 1\,000 attendees\, we believe in the current COVID-19 pandemic such a gathering would not be a good public health decision.”\n\nYoung Healthcare and Kerney Laday\, Sr. nominees are still being accepted until the July 17 deadline. The DFWHC Board of Trustees will judge the nominees and announce the recipients in August. The Distinguished Health Service Award\, an honor dating back to 1947\, will also be determined by the Board and announced during the same month. A virtual video honoring these recipients will be posted and distributed in October.\n\nNext year’s Annual Awards Luncheon has already been scheduled for October 20\, 2021 at the Irving Convention Center. This year’s original keynote speaker Jim Craig\, will serve as speaker during the event.\n\n“We are thankful to the Irving Convention Center and Jim Craig for graciously working with us during these difficult times\,” Love said. “We are looking forward to hosting our Luncheon in Irving and hearing Jim Craig’s patriotic message.”\n\nFor questions\, please contact Chris Wilson at chrisw@dfwhc.org.

SUMMARY:DFWHC and Accenture Webinar "Texans Want Virtual Healthcare"

Here’s How Providers Can Grow from It.” on Wednesday\, October 14 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.\, CDT.\n\nThe complimentary event will examine a groundbreaking Texas survey by Accenture detailing the surprising results of telehealth usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition:\n\n•	One-fourth (25%) of Texans surveyed said they first learned about virtual healthcare following the outbreak of COVID-19;\n•	Approximately nine in 10 Texans (89%) surveyed believed that virtual care options should be available to everyone.\n\nThe panel discussion will include Mark Olney\, Chase Parks and Laura Zhang of Accenture. DFWHC President/CEO Stephen Love will serve as host.\n\n“The survey revealed a lot of Texans got a taste for what it’s like to see their physicians and specialists from the safety and comfort of their home\,” said Olney\, a managing director in Accenture’s Health practice and the study’s lead author. “Now patients are eager to get more of that access\, convenience and time savings.”\n\nThe study also notes that rural Texans\, in particular\, have much to gain from access to virtual healthcare.\n\n“Riding the momentum in virtual care\, Texas hospitals have an opportunity to play a bigger role in caring for rural communities and other underserved populations\,” Olney said.\n\nYou can register here.\n\nFor information\, please contact Chris Wilson at 972-719-4900 or chrisw@dfwhc.org.

SUMMARY:DFWHC and KRLD’s “The Human Side of Health Care”
DESCRIPTION:The DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) has decided to go “Radio Ga Ga” throughout 2020 when it will host the weekly radio program “The Human Side of Healthcare” on KRLD 1080 AM.\n\nThe program\, airing every Sunday from 1:00-2:00 p.m. and 7:00-8:00 p.m. CDT\, showcases the activities of North Texas hospitals. The weekly broadcasts will run for 52 weeks throughout the year.\n\n“We thought it would be a great idea to spread the word on the many projects of our North Texas hospitals\,” said Stephen Love\, president/CEO of DFWHC. “This radio program will touch upon such topics as chronic illness\, social drivers of health and children’s healthcare. The sky’s the limit.”\n\nSince the COVID-19 outbreak in March\, the program now devotes a weekly segment to provide updates on the hospitals’ tenacious efforts to battle the pandemic in the metroplex.\n\nKRLD 1080 AM serves the DFW Metroplex and North Texas with a news/talk radio format. It is a Class A station broadcasting at 50\,000 watts\, the maximum power allowed for American AM stations. It has a listening range covering a 30-county area of North Texas\, Central Texas and Oklahoma. It is also broadcast nationwide on Radio.com.\n\nOn a weekly basis\, Love (above photo\, left) works with Thomas Miller (above photo\, right)\, a broadcast journalist at KRLD\, to develop the programming. Each one-hour broadcast includes at least three separate topics.\n\nSpecial guests have included hospital executives from every major system in North Texas\, mayors\, senators and community leaders.\n\nFor information or program ideas\, you can contact radio@dfwhc.org.\n\nYou can listen to past broadcasts on:

SUMMARY:DFWHC's Annual Awards Luncheon Virtual Video

But during this difficult time\, we have witnessed first-hand our hospital healthcare heroes rising to the occasion. We have never been prouder to work with our hospital employees and leaders.\n\nUnfortunately\, we had to cancel the in-person Annual Awards Luncheon this year due to safety reasons. But per the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council’s Board of Trustees\, we believe it is our duty to honor this year’s dedicated friends of healthcare. And so\, a tradition that has taken place in North Texas for over 70 years will continue virtually.\n\nThis year\, we will honor recipients for the Distinguished Health Service Award\, the Young Healthcare Executive of the Year Award and the Kerney Laday\, Sr. Trustee of the Year Award. Our Board of Directors is judging the nominees at this very moment\, with recipients to be announced on October 5\, 2020. We will acknowledge these healthcare heroes with a video to be posted online October 21\, 2020. The video will be themed\, “Not All Heroes Wear Capes…\,” with a detailed career tribute to the recipients.\n\nDiscounted sponsorship opportunities are available. Whether you would like to share your support of our dedicated hospitals or simply an opportunity for prime exposure\, we have created this package for you. Ad and logo space will be available within the video\, which will be distributed to our hospital members and across North Texas.\n\nPlease note\, in honor of the tremendous work of our hospital members\, we decided to make their sponsorships complimentary this year. All hospitals and hospital systems in the region will be participating.\n\nJoin us in celebrating these healthcare heroes inspired by the belief that better health makes a better community.
