OakBend Medical Center is proud to honor five outstanding women whose lasting contributions to the Richmond/Rosenberg communities have made them legends in Fort Bend County. Join OakBend in honoring Billie Wendt, Carolyn Banfield, Carole Brown, Donna Kay Tucker and Ann Council at OakBend Medical Center’s “Patchwork of Life … Putting the Pieces Together” event on Thursday, October 17th from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at Safari Texas Ranch.
All proceeds from the event will benefit OakBend Medical Center’s new Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) Unit, the first of its kind in Fort Bend County. The ACE Unit will be dedicated to the serving only geriatric patients, utilizing the most recent research on geriatric care to design the unit and manage its operations to prevent the loss of physical and mental abilities in the elderly when hospitalized.
“OakBend’s 4th floor Jackson Street ACE unit will showcase a home-like setting with uncluttered hallways and rooms and a peaceful quiet zone for patients and visitors,” said Joe Freudenberger, OakBend Medical Center CEO.
“Few things are more meaningful and important than investing time and resources in supporting the area in which we live,” said Pat Hebert, event chair. “These women are outstanding role models who share passion, vision, integrity and heart, while continuing to uplift our communities.”
OakBend Medical Center’s “Patchwork of Life . . . Putting the Pieces Together” will include a dinner and live auction.
