Patient Benefit Foundation meeting an unseen need Dr. Mubashir Chaudhry saw a major need in the community and has risen to meet it.

Seeing that many people were falling through the medical insurance gaps created by excessively high premiums in Obamacare, he created a foundation to help fund elective surgeries for those who were uninsured, under-insured, and lacking enough income to afford needed medical procedures.

He started the Patient Benefit Foundation (PBF) with $500,000 seed money out of his own pocket.

“I wanted to make sure that when I became prosperous that I would give back to the community,” he said.

Chaudhry immigrated to the United States from Pakistan 23 years ago. Today he owns eight businesses and uses volunteers from his employees, as well as a network of doctors he is associated with to provide these vital services to people in need. PBF is set up to pay the hospital expenses and that of the anesthesiologist. Physicians in the group donate the surgeries. So far there are eight

physicians in the group. Four medical facilities are working with PBF. As the foundation becomes better known in the community, the need for more doctors, donors, and patients increases.

“We’re always looking for more doctors … and we’re looking for more patients that want to apply,” Chaudhry said.

The service he provides is vitally important to people whose lives are dramatically affected by their ailments and a broken healthcare system.

These problems are relatively unseen and difficult for the community to respond to. Thanks to Chaudhry, people here who fall between the gaps now have hope for a longer and healthier life.

Still, to pull it off requires resources and volunteers. To learn more, please see the story inside this issue and consider ways you can help PBF make a real difference in the lives of your friends and neighbors.

Fort Bend EDC is focused on growth

By Theresa D. McClellan For the Fort Bend Business Journal When it looked like the $500 million proposal to grow Stafford through development at the old Texas Instrument campus would stall once again, proponents brought in the big guns.

Jeff Wiley, president of the Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council (FBEDC), made multiple visits to Stafford Jeff Wiley during public hearings to bring a historical and future perspective to growth.

“Stafford is not typical. Usually, you have a city that wants that catalyst – that has long-term revenue streams. You will see the city take the lead and the county and water district follow. But there is a different philosophy the mayor had in this situation.

His thought process has been good over time. He lowered property taxes and Stafford is unique and I think highly of him for doing that,” said Wiley.

Stafford is the largest city in Texas that has zero property tax, which has been an attractive incentive to bring businesses to the city.

The city hired an economist to evaluate the Texas Instrument campus project and that economist said this was the best way to maximize the sales tax over the long term. Which is why the Stafford Economic Development Corporation overwhelmingly voted 6-1 to take on the project.

“This is a rare opportunity for a city that is almost out of land for development. The city of Sugar Land was on (Highway) 90 in a business park, they did a town square and it was redefining. This tract is Stafford’s opportunity to redefine itself and become very visible for a larger part and they should seize that opportunity. If this is a huge success, it will have ripple effects to surrounding communities,” Wiley said.

Expansion is key to the FBEDC The Fort Bend Economic Development Council, created 31 years ago, long before cities had their own staff, helped pass the law that created the economic development

sales tax, said Wiley.

The Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council originated in the midst of an oil bust when several thousand homes were in foreclosure and there was heavy unemployment. For example, when they started building the Fluor Daniel complex, the organization that once had 5,000 employees was down to 500 employees.

“That gives us a sense of the devastation to employment and development with houses and foreclosures. We were in

desperate times during that period. But it’s been a blessing to work for an organization that focuses on growth,” Wiley said.

The elders of the private sector in the county got together to focus on business recruitment and retention so they encourage master planned communities and residential community developments that stimulate a quality workforce, said Wiley. They also looked at growth and EDC GROWTH CONTINUES pg.3

Sugar Land formalizes New Territory development zoning

By Theresa D. McClellan For the Fort Bend Business Journal A perk of annexation is protection.

Now that the City of Sugar Land has acquired the New Territory community through annexation, it took another step at an April city council meeting to protect neighborhoods from “undesirable developments.”

The city took control of the kinds of businesses that can go into the area by permanently rezoning it to neighborhood business, general business or business office for commercially developed areas.

“They had no zoning prior to annexation so this protects them from undesirable developments,” explained city spokesman Doug Adolph.

Last December, the city annexed the 78 acres south of Highway 90A and west of Easton Avenue; south of Highway 90A and east of Grand Parkway 99; north and south of New Territory Boulevard and east of Grand Parkway 99 and along Homeward Way and south of Gateway Boulevard.

The permanent zoning is designed to match up to the existing uses and the rezoning is in character with the existing development in the New Territory commercial area.

The neighborhood business district (B-1) allows for the development of small scale

development that attracts well-paying jobs and attracts families.

Wiley noticed a trend in development that will be played out in Stafford, Sugar Land and neighboring communities.

“What is being developed is mixed-used developments with restaurants, hotel, retail and office space,” he said.

Staying relevant In the world of retail, the concern of the big box stores is relevance.

“Amazon has changed the game on how people think. You don’t have to leave your house to get what you want. It’s almost instant gratification. But at the same time, you don’t want to stay in your house all the time. It’s called experiential retail where we develop these centers that have a mix of retail and work environment,” Wiley said.

Fort Bend County will see those changes coming in Sugar Land with Lake Point and

Whole Foods, Imperial and Tellfair’s Tract 5 around the Smart Financial Centre, all tend to be mixed use.

The Hotspots: According to Wiley: •The Katy Boardwalk is in development as we speak with a supportive city and county involvement.

•The Texas Instrument campus site, I hope, goes forward with all speed and announcements will come out in mid-May. •Sugar Land is close to resolving issues with Tract Five in the southeast corner of University and (US) 59.

•You will start to see development in Richmond, adjacent to the Brazos Town Square in the east side of FM 762 and 59.

There is quite a bit of opportunity that exists when that highway is completed. It’s prime land for development and corporate campuses.

To ease the traffic bottleneck by the year 2020, Highway 59 all the way to the county The Fort Bend Business Journal H May 2018

line will have two lanes of feeder roads on either side and six main lanes. “That infrastructure has the potential for growth,” he said.

Despite the rosy outlook, there are some obstacles.

“For those outside the Houston market, we have to show that Houston learned from Harvey and is more resilient. It’s easy to fly over and look at the water and say, ‘oh my goodness.’ Easy to make depictions of our community as not being a fit place to be because of the storm risk. But we were up and operational in two weeks,” he said.

“We are studying very closely the flooding issue of Harvey and have looked at developing responsibly. We are working with the county on the drainage issue to understand how best to develop responsibly and limit the risk of flooding.

Quite frankly, if you look at us, Fort Bend County came out relatively very well,” Wiley said.

PATIENT BENEFIT FOUNDATION

HELPS THE UNDER & UNINSURED IN NEED OF ELECTIVE SURGERIES

COVER STORY

BY JOE SOUTHERN Self-employed and uninsured, Kristin had nowhere to turn for help when she broke her hand.

“We had no means and couldn’t get help from a lot of the hospitals to even do payment plans with them,” she said.

Seven orthopedic surgeons turned her away because she lacked insurance.

“Without this surgery I wouldn’t be able to use my hand again,” Kristin said.

That’s when she learned about Patient Benefit Foundation. The new Sugar Land-based foundation was started in 2014 by Dr. Mubashir Chaudhry. The owner of multiple businesses, Chaudhry felt it was time to give back to the community that had given him so much. His passion was to fund elective surgeries for people who fell through the gaps in insurance coverage.

“This was a missing piece of Obamacare,” Chaudhry stated.

He started the Patient Benefit Foundation (PBF) with $500,000 seed money out of his own pocket.

Chaudhry immigrated to the United States from Pakistan 23 years ago, where he practiced as a surgeon.

“I want to help as many people as possible in need of elective surgery. That is the mission of Patient Benefit Foundation,” Chaudhry said.

The idea for PBF came when his mother, who lives here, was visiting his sister in New York. She started having severe pain and became semiconscious. That led to 21 days in an intensive care unit awaiting an operation to have her gall bladder removed. If his mother had been screened properly for such a disease, she would not have had to go through this life threatening situation. After seeing what his mother went through, Chaudhry was determined that no one else should have to suffer awaiting an elective surgery that could save or improve his or her life due to a lack of insurance coverage or proper screening.

Kristin is an example of that. Her broken hand was healing wrong and would have been deformed without surgery. The longer she put if off the worse it got.

“It should have been an hour-long surgery but it took six and a half hours because it was healing wrong,” she said.

Kristin was very grateful to PBF and Dr. Chaudhry for their much needed help. “Patient Benefit Foundation has been a godsend to me and my family because of the surgery I had to have on

my arm that we didn’t know how we were going to pay for it,” she said.

Reba was in a similar situation when she was diagnosed with a benign lump on her left breast. Being an unemployed student at the time, she could not afford to have the lumpectomy she needed in order to prevent a possible future health problem as her doctor recommended.

“I had applied for Obamacare but the premiums were too high,” she said.

She looked into Fort Bend County’s indigent care program and was eventually led to PBF. Reba was able to get the surgery she required and no longer has to worry about future complications the lump might have caused.

George was also uninsured and in need of a medical procedure.

“I was prevented for five years from getting the medical attention I needed,” he said.

After contacting PBF, things happened very quickly. He said it was like all the pieces finally fell into place with the financing in order.

“I was blown away,” he said. “They are very respectful of the person asking for help.”

PBF is set up to pay the hospital expenses and that of the anesthesiologist.

Surgeons in the group donate their time for surgeries. Many physicians & medical facilities in the area are now working with PBF. As the foundation becomes better known in the community at large, the need for more doctors, donors, and volunteers will increase.

“We’re always looking for more doctors … and we’re looking for more

Dr. Syed Gardezi, Dr. Amin H. Karim, and Dr. Mubashir Chaudhry. (Photo by Joe Southern) patients.” Chaudhry said.

Dr. Syed Gardezi said he liked the idea for PBF when approached by Chaudhry.

“Dr. Chaudhry asked me to see some patients who needed help with elective procedures and I was glad to help,” Dr. Gardezi said.

Chaudhry said the foundation got rolling in 2016 by launching an awarness gala to get word to the community that PBF was here to help. The first surgeries were done in 2017. By the end of the year, Patient Benefit Foundation had saved patients an estimated $220,000.

No patient was required to contribute financially.

Chaudhry said in order to qualify for the benefits from the foundation, applicants must be legal citizens of the United States, they must be underinsured or uninsured, they must demonstrate

financial need, and the surgery must be elective (something planned ahead and not an emergency). Elective surgeries include things like gall bladder removal, hysterectomies, etc.

“These are things that patients usually tend to put off because of lack of resources,” he said.

Not all elective surgeries are covered.

PBF does not provide for cosmetic surgery or things like Botox.

Patient Benefit Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that includes local business, industry, and community leaders. Dayto-day operations and administrative positions are assigned to Executive Volunteers from Chaudhry’s various companies.

“These executives have years of experience in patient care and understand the patients, not just from a financial point of view but medical necessity as well. All of this allows Patient Benefit Foundation to operate with the lowest overhead possible, making more funding available to more patients,” he said.

He said PBF is still in its early stages of development.

“I have a passion and dream to take PBF to the next level, possibly nation wide,” he said. “No one else in the United States, as far as we know, is providing this service to those in need of elective surgeries.”
