Dedication A Heartfelt Thank You
This year’s review is dedicated to everyone who is contributing their work and expertise to the care and support of others during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to everyone doing the essential work that allows our city, and our society, to thrive. It would be impossible to name every individual (in UT Health Austin, the Dell Medical School, Ascension Seton, and beyond) who deserve our appreciation, but as the stories that follow illustrate, only a motivated, coordinated team could have met a challenge of this complexity and magnitude. While this review focuses exclusively on work related to direct patient care, the positive impact of this amazing team on public policy, education, and the health of the greater Austin community continues to make a real difference in the lives of us all.
