GREAT TO SEE YOU AT WILDFLOWER! Even
the threat of rain couldn’t stop more than
80 bands taking the six stages at this year’s
Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival — and the
more than 60,000 spectators coming out to
see them. Methodist Richardson was proud to
once again sponsor the crowd-pleasing event
that ran May 15 to 17. Methodist Richardson
President Ken Hutchenrider Jr., FACHE (inset),
addressed the crowds about the great things happening at
Methodist Richardson, and employee Sheila Vest (right) decorated a
guitar to be auctioned during the festival to support the Network of
Community Ministries.
An evening of
elegance and
entertainment!

METHODIST URGENT CARE
NOW OPEN! On June 27,
Methodist Health System
celebrated the grand opening
of Methodist Urgent Care,
our first urgent care center,
at 350 S. Plano Road near
Beltline Road in Richardson.
Methodist Richardson President
Ken Hutchenrider Jr., FACHE
(second from right), helped
cut the ceremonial ribbon
opening the new joint venture
facility between Methodist and
TeamHealth. “Methodist Urgent
Care represents an additional
investment in the Richardson
community and furthers
a commitment to provide
compassionate and quality
care,” Hutchenrider says.
VOLUNTEERS NAMED REAL
HEROES: Longtime Methodist
Richardson volunteers Jim and
Norma Murphy were recognized
as Real Heroes by the Richardson
Coalition on April 9 at the
Richardson Civic Center. Real
Heroes represent the spirit of
Richardson as a strong, caring,
and vibrant community, which
the Murphys reflected through
their service to the hospital.
We’re proud to have such heroes
among our volunteer ranks!
