North Texas hospital representatives met at the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) offices yesterday for an introduction to Michael Boes, the new Deputy Director for the DFW region of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“We had an excellent meeting with Michael Boes,” said Stephen Love, president/CEO of DFWHC. “Many of our member hospitals participated in a very engaging and collaborative discussion regarding the future of healthcare in North Texas.”
At the HHS, Boes serves as Senior Advisor, contributing to the development and refinement of health care policy through strategic initiatives. His work emphasizes leveraging data-driven insights to enhance operational frameworks, aligning with organizational goals to improve outcomes.
“We had an energizing conversation with Steve Love, alongside leaders from health systems serving communities throughout North Texas,” Boes said. “We explored critical initiatives around chronic disease management, the role of whole food nutrition in patient outcomes, and how AI can enhance both patient care and clinician effectiveness. What stood out most: North Texas is fortunate to have exceptional health systems committed to advancing care for our region.”
Hospitals in attendance included Children’s Health, JPS Health Network, Medical City Healthcare, Methodist Health System and UT Southwestern.
