On Tuesday, February 22, Doug Hawthorne, president and CEO of the largest integrated health care organization, Texas Health Resources, will address the state of health care and hospital management nationally and in Texas. Texas Health Resources was formed in 1997 with the merger of Presbyterian Healthcare Resources and Harris Methodist Health System. The new system serves more than 22 countries in North Texas and employs nearly 16,000 people. Guided by the mission of improving the health of the communities served by Presbyterian and Harris Methodist, Hawthorne's strategy centered on understanding the difference in the cultures of the two hospital systems. The result has been a successful integration built on cultural similarities.
