CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Women's Board
Heather is an active member of the CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Women's Board which impacts the women and children of Northeast Texas.
For nearly 20 years, a remarkable group of women has significantly impacted CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances and the Northeast Texas community. Known as The Women’s Board, they have passionately supported our mission by building fellowship and spearheading annual fundraising events. Their signature initiative, “A Toast to East Texas,” features a series of unique parties and special events hosted by generous community patrons, and every dollar raised supports vital projects focused on the healthcare needs of women and children.
Therapet Animal Assistest Therapy
Heather participates on the Development Committee for Therapet.
AAT offers numerous benefits beyond those available through traditional therapies. In this era of managed care and cost reduction, AAT allows therapists to use one treatment tool, an animal, to target a variety of goals. Therapet currently has 70+ dogs, 3 cats, and a cockatoo working in our programs. The animals do far more than just visit patients. Therapet establishes goal-oriented therapy programs as well as visitation programs.
