DESTINATION KNOWN: Retired oilfield services businessman Terry Hall says he and his wife, Henri, travel quite a bit among their residences in New Mexico, Houston and Louisiana. But one thing keeps them coming back to Houston and inspired them to make a major gift to support its future: the quality health care they receive at Houston Methodist. Hall says he heard a myriad of praise about Houston Methodist for years. Then, saddled with a difficult-to-treat staph infection after undergoing an orthopedic surgery in Santa Fe, he reached out to some friends who arranged for him to come to Houston Methodist for treatment. Hall met orthopedic surgeon Dr. Shari Liberman after being admitted to the hospital. After several interactions and telling her he didn’t have a primary care physician, he recalls she offered to be his doctor. “We were getting older and realized we needed to have relationships with first-class health care providers,” says Hall. “Houston Methodist was the perfect fit.” When Henri jumped off her horse and broke her ankle, that new connection paved the way for her to meet Dr. Kevin Varner, chair of the department of orthopedic surgery, who oversaw her care and treatment.
