FROM OUR PRESIDENT

“The future depends on what you do today.”

Today our dominant priority is for our patients and families dealing with COVID-19, and our team who has responded heroically since last February. However, it is not our only priority. When we all come through the other side of the pandemic crisis, we will emerge stronger, wiser and fully dedicated to our shared future. On the way there, we’ll achieve better outcomes and provide accessible, affordable care. And we’ll continue to attract a strong, qualified workforce and further collaboration with thriving communities throughout the region. These are the tenants of our 2023 Strategic Plan, where we will work every day to elevate the quality of your life through better health. Our new community cancer center, featured on the cover of this edition of Journeys, is part of this three-year plan. So is our new Bryan Imaging and Diagnostic Center that we’ve opened

— Mahatma Gandhi

at Bryan Pine Lake Campus — a convenient, cost effective option that aligns with many payer requirements for outpatient services. We have so much more planned in the next 36 months, and we look forward to experiencing it with you.

Gandhi’s words resonate loudly for everyone on the Bryan team at this moment — we know that the future demands our attention, yet we have a responsibility to see our communities through this pandemic.

Bryan Health. Forward. Together.
