DHR Health is now one of only four hospitals in Texas and fewer than 50 nationwide to hold this elite certification.
This recognition is especially important for the Rio Grande Valley, where 1 in 3 residents lives with diabetes. According to DHR Health, this certification ensures patients receive care that meets the highest national standards, helping to reduce complications and improve recovery.
Congratulations to the DHR Health team for this accomplishment and for raising the standard of care in South Texas.
This is a major shift from what used to be a "clear win" for school districts. For decades, school bonds in Texas had a 70-80% pass rate. They were seen as a routine, necessary investment in growing communities.
The era of school bonds being a "sure thing" is over. Last night's RGV results are the latest and clearest sign of this new reality.
What do you think is the biggest reason for this shift?
