Supporting our families Throughout the years, GRMF has played a pivotal role in funding essential needs for our Birthing Center. One of the most impactful initiatives was the collaboration between the Harvey E. Najim Charitable Foundation, GVEC’s Power Up Grant and other generous donors who came together to award GRMC funds for the installation of the Stanley Hugs Infant Security System. This crucial addition has not only improved staff communication and response times but has also significantly enhanced patient safety for our most vulnerable little ones. In addition, our community has invested in state-of-the-art labor beds, bassinets and Panda Infant Warmers—all essential for the care of our newborns. At GRMF, we are committed to enhancing the experience for mothers and babies at GRMC. We invite you to join us in our mission to support the families of our community, ensuring that we can continue to uphold and expand these essential services for future generations. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a brighter, healthier future for all. Making a positive difference It is my great honor to serve in the role of CEO for GRMC, now in my 21st year in that capacity. I also have a new title as grandfather to three wonderful, playful and curious boys. All three were born at GRMC, giving me the opportunity to have a personal view of the excellent care this team provides to moms, dads, siblings, grandparents and of course for the newborn baby. I could not be more proud of our staff. We strive to make a positive difference in the lives of every patient we are privileged to treat. That opportunity begins with every new life and each first breath. My role at the patient bedside ended years ago, but my passion remains strong for compassionate, quality care from a different perspective. Today, my mission is to ensure that Seguin and our surrounding region continue to benefit from our unique GRMC health care system for decades to come, and for the thousands of new lives and new beginnings that we help usher into the world.
