The DFW Hospital Council’s (DFWHC) 77th Annual Awards Luncheon is just two months away! The event is set for October 24 at the Loews Arlington Convention Center and Hotel. The event will take place in the Honor Ballroom, with a reception beginning at 11:00 a.m. followed by the luncheon and awards from 12 noon to 1:45 p.m.

Sponsorships and tickets are now available.

DFWHC announced last week that the Honorable Lyndon L. Olson, Jr. will be the 2025 recipient of its Distinguished Health Service Award, an honor dating back to 1948.

DFWHC will also present the 2025 Young Healthcare Executive of the Year award to Christina Mathis, CEO of Medical City Las Colinas; and the Kerney Laday, Sr. Trustee of the Year Award to John P. Boswell of Cook Children’s Health Care System.

“Ambassador Olson has volunteered decades of his career to support North Texas healthcare,” said Stephen Love, president/CEO of DFWHC. “We are so indebted to his leadership at Scottish Rite and Baylor Scott & White. We are also proud to acknowledge the extraordinary leadership of Christina Mathis and John P. Boswell, who have dedicated their careers to our community’s health and well-being. It should be a great luncheon.”

An additional highlight will be the appearance of Dr. Stephen Trzeciak as keynote speaker. The bestselling author of “Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference,” Trzeciak will share his story of going through burnout while working as a physician, and how compassion was the key to his recovery.

The luncheon will open with the introduction of the Chairs of the North Texas hospitals’ boards of trustees.

The event will be sponsored in part by Hall Render, Forvis Mazars and ShiftKey.
