PHILANTHROPY NOTES
■ Lee Jarmon Alzheimer's Pro Am

Golf Tournament benefits Baylor
AT&T Memory Center
This fall, Rowland K. Robinson, president
of Baylor Health Care System Foundation,
gratefully received a check for $145,000 in
support of the Baylor AT&T Memory Center.
The check represented proceeds from the Lee
Jarmon Alzheimer's Pro Am Golf Tournament
at Gleneagles Country Club, chaired by Steve
Folsom and Matt Bryan.
Baylor Scott & White Health serves a population of more than 9.3 million Texans in North
and Central Texas. As this population ages,
health care providers are challenged to provide medical support for patients afflicted with
dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
In 2013, philanthropic support launched
the Baylor AT&T Memory Center, an innovative model of care that provides important,
enhanced capabilities and resources to diagnose, treat, and provide social, emotional,
and spiritual support for patients afflicted

with Alzheimer's and dementia and their
families.
■ Gifts from Meadows Foundation and

Colonnetta family have tails wagging
On the anniversary of its first year in
operation, the Canine Companions for
Independence® Baylor Scott & White Health-
Kinkeade Campus received two generous
gifts that will help pair trained assistance
dogs with people with disabilities. Joe and
Kimberly Colonnetta recently gave $100,000,
and the Meadows Foundation, which has a
special interest in both companion animals
and programs serving the disabled, gave
$150,000 in support of Canine Companions.
After attending a Baylor Health Care System
Foundation board meeting where they learned
about the program, Kimberly Colonnetta and
her husband were inspired to provide support. The Colonnettas also decided to train
a puppy for the program, a yellow Labrador
named Atlas.

Baylor Scott & White Health affiliated with
Canine Companions in 2014. The 9-acre campus opened in November 2015 and includes
dormitory rooms, kennels, indoor and outdoor
training areas, and multipurpose spaces. It also
has areas for grooming, food preparation, and
a veterinary clinic and lab. The average cost
to train and provide follow-up services for one
assistance dog is more than $50,000. The
dogs are provided free of charge to people
with physical or developmental disabilities, so
this philanthropic support is important.
Each participant completes a 2-week
course at the campus-designed to match
the person and the dog and to prepare them
to work together while becoming responsible
for the care, feeding, housing, and medical
needs of the dog. We continue to raise funds
to develop and support the Kinkeade Campus.
For information on how you can support these
or other initiatives at Baylor Scott & White Health-
North Texas, please contact Baylor Health Care
System Foundation at 214.820.3136.

Reader Comments
Tribute to Dr. John Hyland
The article on Dr. Hyland (1) is a well-deserved tribute to
a highly respected teacher and a very successful administrator
from one of his most accomplished and grateful disciples
(the latter kind is in short supply!). If I had been offered the
opportunity to add my secondary contribution to Rolando
Solis's piece, I would have given him credit for resurrecting the Heart Transplantation Program after the disastrous
losses in 1991. Under his guidance and firm stewardship, we
performed then 30 consecutive heart transplants without a
single loss, at the same time embarking on lung transplantation (51 transplants), which led to the latter program's

accreditation. I cannot even now thank him enough, so I
am limiting myself to wishing him longevity and very good
health.
