Fifty years ago, we answered the call to care for the people of Harris County, replacing an outdated city- county governance system that had languished for decades. Since then we have grown into a leading public health system that includes three hospitals, 45 outpatient care locations and more than 10,000 employees, physicians and volunteers.
In this year’s annual report, “Then & Now: Providing Access to Quality Healthcare for 50 Years,” you will read about our system’s inception and some of our most recent accomplishments. You will also read day-in-the- life narratives that introduce you more personally to just a few of the people who impact — or have been impacted by — the system’s care.
Harris Health System’s story is one of quality, driven by a focus on the patient as the center of the care experience, and by commitment to the very best of clinical outcomes. It is a story of caregiver excellence, involving physicians, nurses, therapists, technicians and many others who educate the next generation of caregivers and excel at the delivery of care to our community. It is a story of innovation, as we introduce the latest and best advances in facilities, technologies and processes, in support of superlative care. It is a story of community health, of going the extra mile to prevent illness even before it happens — and, in the process, building community well-being.
As always, it is also a story about you. Harris Health not only helps ensure that you and your family have access to the best of care in our community; it is possible because of support from Harris County residents and dedicated friends like you. Thank you for being a part of our story, both then and now.

23 Early Houston Humanitarian Ben Taub
For nearly three decades (1935-1964), Ben Taub, a local real estate developer and businessman passionate about improving the lives of Houston’s indigent ill, elderly and children, served as chairman of the board of Jefferson Davis Hospital, the community’s first public hospital. Taub immersed himself in service to the hospital and its patients and became a near constant presence, visiting staff and patients day and night, and advocating for those in need of care. In the early 1940s, Taub’s behind-the-scenes efforts were instrumental in encouraging Baylor College of Medicine to join the newly formed Texas Medical Center and helped bring the City of Houston and Harris County its first medical school. It was a partnership that would have a profound influence on Houston’s future for more than 70 years. In 1963, a new hospital in the heart of the fledgling medical center was built and dedicated to honor the native Houstonian who had given so much of himself and his
A constant presence in the fortune to improving the health of his less fortunate neighbors. He stepped down from hospitals, former city-county the hospital board in 1964, but for the remainder of his life he continued to support the hospital chairman Ben Taub (far right), visits with a colleague mission of the health system he helped establish. and auxiliary volunteer. Today, Ben Taub’s legacy of service lives on through the hospital bearing his name.
24 Lester And Sue Smith Receive The 2015 Ben Taub Humanitarian Award
In a city known for pioneers in energy, medicine, business, finance and philanthropy, one couple stands out – Sue and Lester Smith who have dedi- cated their private wealth for the public good. Their extraordinary generosity and compassionate care for others is motivated by their personal motto that “to whom much is given, much is expected.” Drawing from a place of grati- tude for the life-saving care Lester received during his two- time battle with cancer, the couple have dedicated more than $100 million to support adult and pediatric cancer research and treatment at numerous Texas Medical Center institutions, including Harris Health System. Sue and Lester Smith have been integral to enhancing the excellent cancer care that Harris Health provides its patients. In 2011, the Smiths provided a $15 million grant – the largest gift in Harris Health and the Harris County Hospital District Foundation’s history – to help establish the Smith Clinic. Opened in 2012, the five-story Smith Clinic includes the Smith Breast Center, Smith Infusion Therapy Clinic, Smith Diagnostic Imaging Department, Smith Oncology Clinic, the J. Evans and Mary P. Attwell Radiation Therapy Center and more than 20 other specialty clinics.
