In the last 18 months, the region’s healthcare organizations have been forced to turn the extraordinary into the everyday. They have persevered through shutdowns, revenue shocks, and fast-changing regulations, all while fighting on the front lines of a pandemic that won’t go away.
To recognize those individuals and organizations keeping North Texas healthy, D CEO has named finalists for its 2021 Excellence in Healthcare Awards.
This year’s program attracted more than 100 nominations across several categories. The editorial team and outside judges who have deep knowledge of the healthcare field, pored over the nominations and made tough decisions to highlight 59 outstanding finalists among a bounty of excellent nominations.
North Texas is fortunate to have several robust and skilled hospital systems, strong independent physician groups, top notch medical schools, cutting-edge research institutions, and a unity of spirit and collaboration that is unlike many other industries.
We are especially excited to recognize Dr. William Roberts, a leading cardiovascular pathologist at Baylor Scott & White Health with four decades of service to North Texas, with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
All finalists will be featured in D CEO’s December issue and recognized at an awards event, where the winners will be revealed.
