very positive relationship
between TIS and Presbyterian
Hospital of Dallas. Drs. John
Gill and James Montgomery
discussed the physicians’
pleasure with the efficiency and
technology in this new facility.
Mr. Barton expressed his desire
to see these types of facilities
treat all patients and not be
selective about the type of
payor. Ms. Hay discussed TIS’
volumes of Medicare, Medicaid
and charity patients that have
been seen here since opening. |

Ms. Debbie Hay, President of TIS and Ms. Molly Hicks, CNO, led Mr. Sessions and Ms. Lindsey on a tour of the facility. Mr. Sessions was shown the observation room where medical personnel can view surgical cases without actually being in the OR suite. They noted the convenience of easy parking access and entry for the patients and the relaxed atmosphere of the facility.
Mr. Mark Merrill, President of Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, discussed THR’s position on physician joint ventures. He pointed out that this is not a single specialty facility and that THR feels non-physician partner is very relevant to the success of all involved. TIS has a transfer/referral agreement with PHD for continuity of care.
TIS appreciates the time Mr. Sessions and Ms. Lindsey spent to see a specialty hospital in action.
