On Tuesday, February 20th, HCHD Foundation supporters gathered at the River Oaks Country Club for the Jubilee of Caring.  This year's Chairpersons, Rose and Harry Cullen and Honorary Chairpersons, Pam and David Ott, along with their friends, came together to honor two individuals for their outstanding work and commitment to the Harris County Hospital District and the Foundation. 

The Harris County Hospital District Foundation presented the Ben Taub Humanitarian Award in memory of Mr. Ben F. Love to his granddaughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Love Ross.  Mr. Ben Love was devoted to the Houston community. He understood Houston’s desperate need for a healthcare safety net for its residents and he was a champion of the Harris County Hospital District from the very beginning. His service as a financial advisor during critical times established the Hospital District and helped make it what it has become today.

The Hospital District Foundation presented the Hank Coleman Above and Beyond Award to Dr. Susan Cooley King.

Dr. King's passion for the Harris County Hospital District is contagious.  An invaluable asset to the Foundation Board, Dr. King has dedicated her time and energy to fulfilling our mission.  She is a true champion for healthcare for the uninsured and underinsured in our community.

Thank you to the sponsors and supporters for the Jubilee of Caring.  Your support will purchase an Ultrasound Machine for Imaging Services int he new HCHD Outpatient Tower.  This new tower will include Diagnostic Imaging, Radiation Therapy, Breast Care Center for Excellence and Specialty Clinics.  This desperately needed facility will help serve 100 times more patients annually and will significantly reduce waiting times, allowing the District to increase its efficiency in providing first-rate care.
