MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - The Leadership Montgomery County (LMC) Class of 2015 recently explored healthcare in Montgomery County at their Healthcare Session, sponsored by Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital.

Session Director Linda Nelson welcomed the class to the session and gave an overview of the day’s events before Walter Wilkerson, Jr., MD presented the history of healthcare in Montgomery County.

Freddy Warner presented the class with legislative healthcare updates both on a local and national level. The class then got a look into the issues facing hospital CEOs in Montgomery County with the CEO panel, consisting of David Argueta of CHI St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital, Matt Davis of Conroe Regional Medical Center, Melinda Stephenson of Kingwood Medical Center, Debra Sukin of Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital, and Josh Urban of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital.

The LMC class learned about the role healthcare centers play in the community from Dr. Ann Snyder of Interfaith Community Clinic, Cindy Sunday Powell of Pregnancy Assistance Center North, and Dr. Stephen McKernan of Lone Star Family Health Center.

The class toured Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital, including the TIRR Inpatient Unit. Class members were able to see neuro patients receiving cutting edge therapy.
