💙🏥 Working together to build a healthier Southeast Texas.
Legacy Community Health was proud to host the State of Healthcare in Southeast Texas Luncheon, bringing together healthcare leaders, community partners, and local advocates for an important conversation about the future of healthcare in our region.
A highlight of the event was a panel discussion featuring Robert Palussek, CEO of Legacy Community Health; Paul Trevino, President and CEO of CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System; and David LeMonte, CEO of Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas. The conversation was moderated by The Honorable Dade Phelan and focused on key issues impacting Southeast Texas, including access to care, workforce development, behavioral health, and community health priorities.
We were also honored to present the Heart of Healthcare Award to Gift of Life in recognition of its longstanding commitment to providing lifesaving screenings, health education, and preventive care throughout Southeast Texas.
💙 Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and helped make this event a success. We look forward to continuing these important conversations and strengthening the communities we serve together.
