SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

Methodist Healthcare teamed up with the American Heart Association, Living for Zachary, and Keita Bates-Diop of the San Antonio Spurs to train athletes and ROTC students on hands-only CPR and AED devices at Central Catholic High School.

Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Methodist Children’s Hospital Dr. Mehesh Sharma spoke about the importance of knowing hands-only CPR and learning how to use an AED device to save a life. Methodist Healthcare and Spurs Sports & Entertainment also donated ten AED devices to local youth-serving organizations.

Methodist Healthcare is excited to announce that United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County was awarded $25,000 through HCA’s Healthier Tomorrow Fund. These funds will support our local United Way chapter’s Prenatal Care Access Program, connecting expectant parents and new parents to a multitude of resources in their community. The grant will help with developing marketing strategies to reach targeted populations such as minorities, training staff, and researching evidence-based models to improve outcomes for underserved communities.

Methodist Children’s Hospital partnered with students at Taft High School to learn basic nutrition, how to read food labels, and calculate nutrition facts for recipes as part of Kids Teaching Kids. Here, high school students share their knowledge with elementary children.
