We reached the end of 2022 with the satisfaction of achieving the goals set for this year. This was an exciting and vital year for EHS as we achieved several milestones. We opened a new hospital in Deerbrook, providing emergency services and care to neighbor communities. We also expanded our surgical services at Texas Emergency Hospital and strengthened and bolstered our cardiovascular and emergency services at all four locations.

Some may be curious about what happens when you report misconduct or other concerns to the Compliance Hotline. In an ideal situation, there are sufficient details of who, what, when, where, and how. An investigation plan is initiated, subjects are interviewed, and evidence is gathered. Once all the questions are answered, the disposition of the case is determined.
