On behalf of our agency, I am delighted to welcome you to the Secretary’s Corner! I hope you will find this corner helpful in providing perspective on health in our great state.
As background, I have been a strong advocate for patients as an emergency department physician caring for our nation’s veterans in Texas for well over twenty years. It has been an honor of a lifetime.
In caring for patients, I realized health is not only about what happens within the four walls of a hospital or clinic but what occurs in the community. In neighborhoods. In families. In people’s lives.
