Methodist in the community
METHODIST COLLECTS OVER 70,000 SERVINGS OF CEREAL FOR SA FOOD BANK:
Methodist Children’s Hospital, a campus of
Methodist Hospital, with the help of the other Methodist Hospital campuses, presented the San Antonio Food Bank with more
than 70,000 servings of cereal at a special event on June 10. This was the second year Methodist held the National Children’s
Hospital Cereal Drive. This very worthwhile community event is very important, because when school is out, more than
300,000 San Antonio children lose their access to daily school breakfast and lunches at either no cost or low cost. Together
with the San Antonio Food Bank, Methodist celebrated the city’s Second Annual Childhood Hunger Drive. Pictured from left:

Modern Healthcare
magazine’s
Best Places to Work in Healthcare for
2016. Methodist Texsan Hospital is

industry that empower their employ-
ees to provide patients and customers

METHODIST RALLIED WITH
HUGE “THANK YOU” FOR
DUNCAN:
Because Tim Duncan,
recently retired all-time San
Antonio Spurs great, was a big
part of the San Antonio com-
munity, Methodist Healthcare
went all out to thank the sports
legend for his longtime com-
mitment to San Antonio and its
beloved NBA team. Aside from a
special advertisement thanking
Duncan for his 19 unforgettable
years with the Spurs, several of
the Methodist Hospital cam-
puses had their own celebra-
tions in his honor on July 21
(a reference to the number he
wore throughout his career with
the Spurs). Pictured here is the
team from Northeast Methodist
Hospital.
