HINES (1925 – 2020) It is an honor to salute Mr. Gerald D. Hines, an Engineer, Developer, Architect, Philanthropist and Houston Businessman who transformed the business of commercial real estate development by hiring blue-chip architects to build commercial skyscrapers around the world. Those who knew Mr. Hines would say that he was much more than a creator of buildings. His colleagues, friends, and family would describe him as a man with many qualities – qualities that are not usually noticed in a single individual. Mr. Hines was humble, quiet, ambitious, and innovative. He was also curious and smart; yet, cautious. As much business savvy as Mr. Hines demonstrated in his numerous years, Mr. Hines also had a heart for helping others, donating both his time and treasure to organizations that mattered to him. He worked to help underserved communities, co-founding and serving on the board of two great organizations - the Harris Health System and the Harris County Hospital District Foundation. In 1965, Mr. Hines joined a group of Houston’s most well respected community leaders to serve as a board member, for the newly created Harris County Hospital District, now Harris Health System. This distinguished group included - Quentin R. Mease, Businessman, first Chairman of the Harris County Hospital District and Harris County Hospital District Foundation (HCHD Foundation), Daniel C. Arnold, a prominent Houston-area Lawyer and Businessman who worked behind the scenes to elevate some of the city’s key institutions, and other caring community leaders. With their vision, action, and commitment, Harris Health System has evolved into a fully integrated healthcare system that cares for all residents of Harris County, Texas. In 2003, the HCHD Foundation Board of Trustees voted to appoint Mr. Hines as Honorary Trustee. This honorific title is in recognition of his active participation, financial contribution, and continuing strong interest in our Foundation and community. tribute In 2011, in honor of Mr. Hines’s many significant contributions to Houston and the Harris County community, the HCHD Foundation Board of Trustees presented Mr. Hines with the Ben Taub Humanitarian Award at its Jubilee of Caring Diner. This award honors those philanthropic individuals who have made significant contributions to Houston and Harris County. We remain grateful for Mr. Hines’s vision and support of the HCHD Foundation’s mission to enhance the broad healthcare mission of the Harris Health System. Mr. Hines’s invaluable civic and charitable contributions to the Harris County community will continue to be a staple in our great city and county forever. 4 REMEMBERING Gerald Hines THANK YOU 5 KAY AND NED HOLMES HOST FUNDRAISER FOR THE FIRST FLOOR RENOVATION OF THE BEN TAUB HOSPITAL LEVEL I TRAUMA CENTER (GINNI AND RICHARD MITHOFF TRAUMA CENTER) ay and Ned Holmes Host severely injured patients have rapid access Fundraiser for the Renovation to the highest level of medical care required. and Modernization of Ben Taub Hospital’s Level I Ginni and The emergency room evaluation, K operative care, critical care, acute care Richard Mithoff Trauma Center and rehabilitative care are all integrated On May 15, 2019, Houstonians gathered under the Trauma Program to provide at the home of Kay and Ned Holmes to incredible outcomes. hear about the HCHD Foundation’s 2nd Capital Campaign benefiting the First Floor The program concluded with remarks from Renovation of the Ben Taub Hospital Level I Bob Corrigan, General Counsel of Baylor Trauma Center (Ginni and Richard Mithoff of College of Medicine.
