Last Saturday, Hendrick Foundation welcomed 100 physicians from Abilene and our region to the Texas Medical Association's Local Medicine Matters conference.

THANK YOU to the Big Country County Medical Society for inviting the Foundation to be an event partner and for helping to bring all these wonderful doctors together for a time of education and inspiration.

Local medicine truly does matter, and we appreciate all the providers who work so hard and strive each day to care for our community.

Enjoy this demonstration of the ZeroG dynamic bodyweight support system donated to Hendrick Health. From the beginning, philanthropic support has fueled our mission and helped us better serve our neighbors.

Last week, Brad Benham, vice president for Hendrick Medical Center Foundation and board chair of Abilene Chamber of Commerce, had the honor of giving the welcomes at the Texas Farm, Ranch & Wildlife Expo and the Agriculture Legacy Luncheon.

Brad thanked the farmers and ranchers for the food on our tables, the clothes on our backs and their amazing generosity to our community. A perfect example of that generosity is the Foundation's largest fundraiser, Legends Dove Hunt, which is possible because of big-hearted landowners sharing their property.

Legends Dove Hunt is just one way the Foundation tries to encourage our community to bless one another and to create opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors.

Like the cherub mascot symbolizing February 14, this Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating chubby cheeks, tiny fingers and hearts full of love by highlighting the amazing care at The BirthPlace at Hendrick Health.

Every day, wonderful physicians, nurses and other caregivers work with families to welcome their newborns to our community. For a holiday all about love, there are few things we love more than being part of this special day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This past weekend, Hendrick Medical Center Foundation was proud to host more than 100 providers throughout the region for the annual Hendrick Health Heart and Vascular Symposium.

Heart disease continues to be the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, and it was an honor to play a small part in making sure these caring practitioners were apprised of the best and newest levels of local care available.

Neighbors helping neighbors … every single day out here in West Central Texas.

Recently, the Vice President and Abilene Chief Nursing Officer for Hendrick Health, Precilla Camacho, joined the local podcast "On Time for Mom Time" to discuss important growth and changes happening at The BirthPlace at Hendrick Medical Center.

Our Foundation team is committed to raising philanthropic support to help fuel this important project. We are excited because not only will this bring local labor and delivery, NICU and pediatric experts under one roof, but it will also help recruit more OB-GYNs to our growing community!

Thank you to you and your team, Precilla! We appreciate your compassionate care to every local mom and baby in West Central Texas!
