Erin Tawney, the regional director of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), paid a visit to the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) offices last Thursday to visit with President/CEO Stephen Love. The opportunity was a “meet and greet” between the two healthcare executives.

“We were thrilled to meet with Erin Tawney,” Love said. “We discussed ways that our organizations could collaborate and work together in the future. It was our pleasure to host the meeting.”

A U.S. Presidential appointee serving Dallas Region VI, Tawney began her tenure in March. Her primary mission is to serve as the department’s principal liaison to state and local governments, as well as private and non-governmental organizations, with a goal to facilitate the coordination of HHS initiatives.
