FOX 4: North Texas Woman Named Champion Auctioneer

A young woman from North Texas talks fast and that speed helps bring in a lot of money. FOX 4’s Shannon Murray sat down with Morgan Hopson to talk about her new championship title, Texas Auctioneers Association (TAA) and her path to success.

In September 2001, the Texas Auctioneers Association selected Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children as its official charity. Since then, TAA members and auctioneers have raised money for the hospital through various auctions around the state.

Hometown Hero: The Sewing Ladies

Hometown Hero: The Sewing Ladies

A specific group of volunteers at Scottish Rite Hospital, who call themselves The Sewing Ladies, have been a staple at the hospital since its earliest years. Originally, the group consisted mostly of wives of the hospital’s doctors. Now, the volunteers come from all different backgrounds but have one thing in common – they love to sew.

Between them, The Sewing Ladies have more than 800 years of sewing experience, and they put that experience to good use. Last year, the group of volunteers created more than 400 bed sheets and more than 500 hospital gowns for the hospital’s young patients.

Clarice Tinsley of FOX 4 recently featured the group in her “Hometown Heroes” segment.

Physician Leadership: As health care moves to value, more leaders going to PROMs

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM), which are stored in the clinical record, help physicians optimize treatment. These surveys can shed light on important factors following treatment, such as how the patient feels about their quality of life after treatment and whether everyday activities have improved.

Henry B. Ellis, M.D., a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Scottish Rite Hospital, recently spoke with the American Association for Physician Leadership about the use of PROMs and how they help him and his team.

“PROMs really help us quantify the results of our treatment,” Ellis says. “And it will quantify their activity level following their treatment as well.”

WFAA Honors Scottish Rite Hospital’s Don Cummings

On April 5, 2019, several Scottish Rite Hospital staff members gathered before the break of dawn at the WFAA studio for a “Party on the Plaza” to celebrate a segment that was aired live that morning. The hospital’s Director of Prosthetics Don Cummings had no idea the story was actually about him.

Don, who has been at the hospital since 1987, was honored as WFAA Daybreak’s Rise and Shiner — an honor given to those dedicated to changing lives for the better through their work. Don was nominated by his peers and former patients at Scottish Rite Hospital, and the staff that showed up early Friday morning truly showed their support for Don and his family.
