博士. 李派特总裁 & 首席执行官
As I reflect on my first 100 days as President & 澳门真人赌场官方网站行政总裁, one word comes to mind: trust. In a healthcare landscape that often feels like “grabbing bricks out of the air and building a house in the middle of a hurricane,” as our Senior Communications Manager Mike McKinnon colorfully put it, establishing trust is our singular focus.
Our journey began with genuine interactions, spending nearly 500 hours with internal and external stakeholders. We engaged with CommUnityCare 健康 Centers, Sendero健康计划, 民选官员, 卫生系统领导人, key partners like Dell Medical School at UT and Integral Care and participated in roundtables and community conversations with diverse groups including African American, Latinx, AAPI, 以及LGBTQIA+领导人.
Why this intense focus on connection? Because 澳门真人赌场官方网站’s greatest strength is its people. We have a capable, experienced team that’s passionate about our mission. Despite being a government entity, we operate with a startup’s boldness – growth-minded, 灵活的, and able to pivot quickly.
This agility is crucial as we sprint into our 医疗公平计划, which has transformed from theory to practice this past year. With 11 new clinical service lines, several diagnostic service lines, 导航中心, 护理协调, 医学的喘息, 过渡关心, skilled nursing facilities, 和更多的, we are delivering on our promise to build a better healthcare system.
Leading Central health into this new era is a deep honor and a huge responsibility.
This is not the same organization it was a year ago. The 健康care Equity plan has profoundly changed the way that we see our work. 它是我们的“北极星”.”
Through the efforts of our team, we have been able to:
- 治疗1个以上,500 patients with 11 new direct specialty care service lines, along with needed diagnostic services, that have been lacking in Travis County’s safety-net system for decades, reducing wait times and achieving better outcomes through early intervention.
- Partner with Integral Care (Travis County’s local mental health authority) to provide 24/7 psychiatric emergency services.
- Provide respite care for nearly 300 people who do not have stable housing, giving them a place where they can rest and recover.
- Partner with Travis County, 县治安官, and Integral Care to improve jail healthcare and create diversion services to direct people to treatment rather than incarceration.
- Adopt a new unified brand across the 澳门真人赌场官方网站 system – including CommUnityCare 健康 Centers and Sendero健康计划 – that symbolizes how the three organizations work together to achieve shared goals and better outcomes for Travis County residents with low income.
Our progress in these first 100 days is a testament to the dedication and compassion of our team. We are united by a shared commitment to leading with love, embracing the notion that we are “one trunk, 许多分支”, and recognizing that our diversity is our strength.
As we build a more equitable healthcare system, we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and appreciate the collective efforts of our team and partners. Together, we are laying the foundation for lasting health equity, one brick at a time.
