US House Representative Dan Crenshaw visited Texas Children’s Hospital last week to learn about our organization and get an up-close view of our operations.
Crenshaw, who represents Texas’ second congressional district, had the opportunity to meet with executive vice presidents, Michelle Riley-Brown, Dan DiPrisco, Mark Mullarkey, and Weldon Gage where they spoke candidly about access to care and Texas Children’s role working with Medicaid and Medicaid populations. They also discussed our efforts to support innovative research and our focus on medical residency and training programs.
“It’s important that our elected representatives have an opportunity to see Texas Children’s first-hand,” said Rosie Valadez McStay, assistant vice president for Governmental Relations and Community Benefits. “We are an organization that is so greatly impacted by their work. To that end, touring our patient care areas to see how care is provided, and meeting with our clinical leaders and administrators, provides them the opportunity to learn how their legislative decisions effect our patients and families. Our hope is that these experiences assist them in making informed and insightful health policy decisions.”
Rep. Crenshaw’s afternoon tour featured visits to:
- Texas Children’s Legacy Tower Mission Control
- Texas Children’s Heart Center
- Texas Children’s Neurology Center
- Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Centers
