In August, W. Stephen Love, president/CEO of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, was announced as the 2014 March for Babies Chair.

“We have had several meetings in preparation for March for Babies and it has been an honor to serve as chair,” Love said. “We hope everyone can take the time to set up a team to participate in the event. The Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council plans to have a team participating in both Fort Worth and Dallas on April 12 and we welcome everyone to join us.”

Love selected Pam Stoyanoff, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer for Methodist Health Systems, and Joseph DeLeon, President of Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth, to co-chair the Dallas and Fort Worth events, respectively.

A special video was released by March of Dimes detailing the mission of the walks and what they accomplish. You can view the video here.
