LIVING OUT OUR MISSION
MAKING OUR MOVE TO END
HEART DISEASE: Methodist
Health System employees
fought heart disease by
taking part in the American
Heart Association’s Dallas
Heart Walk on Sept. 12. More
than 100 system employees
participated in the walk,
and leading up to the walk,
employees hosted various
fundraisers on campus. All
in all, Methodist raised more
than $11,000.
Methodist Health System Foundation was honored to recognize Jack
Lowe Jr. on Oct. 14 as the 2015 recipient of the Robert S. Folsom
Leadership Award. An award dinner at the Hilton Anatole Hotel
celebrated Lowe with many personal touches — nods to his love of
The Princess Bride, to his service to Dallas ISD with a performance
by the Townview Big D Band, and to his family with a dance routine
by his grandchildren, to name a few — and brought in $1.3 million in
donations to benefit programs at Methodist Dallas Medical Center’s
Golden Cross Academic Clinic.

the event and Lowe.
