By: Davis of Dallas | H.R. No. 120 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Dr. Stephen L. Mansfield is retiring as president | ||
and CEO of Methodist Health System on December 31, 2019, and it is | ||
indeed fitting to recognize him as he prepares to conclude a tenure | ||
characterized by tremendous achievement; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since Dr. Mansfield took the reins of Methodist | ||
Health System in 2006, it has grown from 2 acute care hospitals to | ||
10 hospital campuses; along the way, his leadership has been | ||
instrumental in helping Methodist Health improve its bond rating, | ||
and it is currently ranked by Moody's among the top 16 percent of | ||
not-for-profit health systems and hospitals for financial | ||
strength; the institution has also seen substantial gains in | ||
clinical quality and safety, patient and employee satisfaction, and | ||
physician experience scores, which set it apart as one of the | ||
nation's best health care providers today; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dr. Mansfield holds a Ph.D. in organizational | ||
leadership from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a | ||
master of business administration degree from the University of | ||
Tennessee at Martin, and a bachelor's degree from Ottawa University | ||
in Ottawa, Kansas; he has worked for a total of 46 years in the | ||
health care field and previously served as president and CEO of | ||
St. Vincent Health System in Little Rock, Arkansas; and | ||
WHEREAS, This dynamic executive has also benefited many civic | ||
organizations with his dedication and expertise, including the | ||
boards of the Dallas Foundation, the Dallas Citizens Council, and | ||
the Dallas Regional Chamber, which he chaired in 2014; in addition, | ||
he recently completed a three-year term on the Large Healthcare | ||
Systems Policy Board for the American Hospital Association while | ||
serving a number of other health care industry associations and | ||
committees; in honor of his contributions, he has received a host of | ||
accolades, such as the 2017 Virginia Chandler Dykes Leadership | ||
Award from Texas Woman's University, and he was named Healthcare | ||
Executive of the Year by D Magazine in 2014; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dr. Stephen Mansfield has guided Methodist Health | ||
System to new heights of success, and when he departs from his | ||
position at its helm, he may take satisfaction in knowing that his | ||
accomplishments will continue to improve the lives of countless | ||
patients and employees for years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Dr. Stephen L. Mansfield for his | ||
outstanding service as president and CEO of Methodist Health System | ||
and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Dr. Mansfield as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. |
