We are proud of the Methodist Dallas laboratory services team. They donated more than $500 to support a group of New York City doctors and volunteers who are providing medical aid to Ukrainian refugees. They also donated medical supplies like bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointments, diapers, and other essential items. The medical camp is on the Ukrainian border in Przemyśi, Poland, and volunteers there are working with the international relief organization Samaritan's Purse. Our prayers are with them.
It’s official! The new Methodist Richardson Heart and Vascular Center is open.

President Ken Hutchenrider Jr. says, "The launch of this new clinic makes high-quality, innovative cardiology services accessible in one convenient location." Our heart's in it!
The Oak Cliff Mardi Gras parade was back after being canceled last year, and Methodist Dallas didn't miss a beat. The Mammogram Poster Girls were there to parade around with the Methodist mobile mammography unit. Their sign says it all: "Don't flash 'em, mammogram 'em!"

Methodist Dallas had to delay celebrating National Wear Red Day because icy weather disrupted the original Feb. 4 celebration. No problem! Employees celebrated later in the month, donning bright scarlet colors to raise awareness of the importance of getting your cardiac health screening. They're "red-dy" when you are!
