VOLUME 5 / FALL 2016
ethodist Health System is fortunate to have four volunteer organizations that help support its
work of improving and saving lives through compassionate, quality healthcare.
The Methodist Dallas Medical Center
Auxiliary has supported Methodist Dallas for over 90 years by funding special needs and volunteering thousands of hours annually. The Methodist Dallas Auxiliary raises funds through events such as Masquerade Jewelry Sales and pecan sales. In May 2016, the Auxiliary
awarded Methodist Health System Foundation
$75,487 to benefit Methodist Dallas. Part of
this contribution was awarded for the purchase
of a Giraffe OmniBed Carestation for the
neonatal intensive care unit.
The Methodist Charlton Medical Center
Auxiliary was formed in August 2010. Annually
the group hosts its Tour of Tables event, a
tablescape contest and luncheon that supports
programs and equipment for Methodist
Charlton. For example, a recent generous
contribution of $15,796 enabled the physical
medicine department to acquire new high-tech monitors that allow the therapist to safely and effectively monitor a patient’s vital signs during mobility activities.
The Methodist Mansfield Medical Center
Auxiliary members not only volunteer their time in the hospital, but their book fairs, accessory sales, and annual Holly Days event garner between $10,000 and $30,000 a year for the hospital. Their recent pledge of $50,000 was a great contribution to the Methodist Mansfield Tower Two Capital Campaign. The Auxiliary also just recently donated $8,975 for the purchase of the surgical services tracking board.
Founded in 1932, the Methodist Hospitals of
Dallas Guild has a rich history. The only criteria for membership are an interest in supporting Methodist and a commitment to involvement. In April 2016, $53,262 was awarded at the Guild’s annual style show to benefit volunteer scholarships and equipment for Methodist Dallas and Methodist Charlton. The group’s fundraisers, which also include book fairs, electronics sales, and jewelry sales, aim to welcome the community into the hospital.
Methodist Foundation is grateful to these wonderful organizations for helping support the mission of Methodist. To learn more about how to get involved, call the Foundation at 214-947-4555.
“As volunteers, we are able to provide assistance to not only the patients but also their families and friends. We provide the kind of care and concern that we would want
for our loved ones. It is truly an honor to help them in their time of need.” Marnee CaMp

MMethodist Dallas Auxiliary members volunteer in the Gift Shop, donating all proceeds back to hospital programs.
This is Emily Moser’s favorite quote, and it reflects the motivation
behind her hard work and dedication daily. She has a passion for serving
in the nonprofit world, and helping others gives her a sense of purpose.
Emily’s amazing can-do attitude has made her an exceptional addition to
the Methodist Health System Foundation team.
Emily earned a double major in management and marketing from
Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. After graduating, she interned at
Medical City Dallas Hospital before joining Methodist Health System as
a freelancer in the public relations and marketing department in
December 2014. In November 2015, she joined the Foundation as the
development coordinator, a role to which she brings several skill sets, such
as writing, special event organization, educational presentations, and
website management.
When asked what she loves most about Methodist, she says: “I absolutely
love the people. The team is so much fun to work with and always willing
to help. I grew up volunteering, especially with my sorority Alpha Delta
Pi, so to be able to work for a nonprofit is very rewarding.”
In her spare time, Emily loves to read, shop, and spend time with her
fiancé, family, friends, and dog, Avery.
“Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work.”

n April 17, 2013, an explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, claimed 15 lives and injured more
than 160 others. On Dec. 26, 2015, North Texans lost their lives to deadly tornadoes. And this past summer, we saw horror unfold on the streets of downtown Dallas when a gunman shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others and two civilians.
We never know when the worst will happen, but we can prepare for it. This is the central theme of the 16th annual Hobert Trauma Symposium, which will take place at Methodist Dallas Medical Center on Sept. 30. Funded in part by an endowment through Methodist Health System Foundation, this year’s symposium will focus on disaster planning and responding to mass casualties.
“The symposium gives us an opportunity to showcase our trauma services and to initiate a best-practices discussion on how to improve responses for large-scale tragic events,” says J. Darryl Amos, MD, FACS, trauma medical director and chairman of the department of surgery at Methodist Dallas, a Level I Trauma Center.
Susan Briggs, MD, director of the Interna tional Trauma and Disaster Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and professor at Harvard Medical School, will be keynote speaker. Also representing Harvard and MGH is trauma surgeon Marc de Moya, MD. David Livingston,
MD, FACS, division chief of trauma surgery and program director surgical critical care fellowship at Rutgers–New Jersey Medical School, will also be featured. Dr. Livingston was part of the Boston Marathon bombing response.
The Hobert Trauma Symposium is expected to draw physicians and medical professionals from throughout the region for continuing education that will ultimately improve the safety of our community.
“Whether our patients are being flown in from the region’s outlying areas or are part of our local community, which is highly underinsured, they can rest assured they’re being treated in an ad-vanced facility by highly trained trauma medical professionals,” Dr. Amos says. “The Foundation makes that possible. We depend on the support and benevolence of the Dallas community and the Foundation to sustain this program for all who are ill or injured.”
