Annual Awards Luncheon cancelled

“The Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council board of trustees has decided to cancel the 2014 Annual Awards Luncheon scheduled for Oct. 21, 2014. We realize this event is to honor our chairs of our hospital board of trustees for their conscientious service and individuals who have been noted for their leadership.

With the recent events in Dallas, all hospitals are working collaboratively to support Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. We will continue to offer our thoughts and prayers for the family of Thomas Duncan. We will continue to support the courageous employees treating victims of the Ebola virus. We will also keep in our thoughts and prayers the two heroic nurses battling this virus contracted while rendering compassionate healthcare.

Accordingly, we did not want to have this event misunderstood as a celebration during a crucial time all of our member hospitals are working together to continue delivering excellent healthcare to the people of North Texas.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused, but please stand with us as we work collaboratively in delivering care to our communities.”

–W. Stephen Love, President/CEO, DFW Hospital Council
