Your Generosity Means Everything to Our Children

Philanthropy is a seed we plant in our children.

We plant the seed through our own examplewhen we give generously o our time

and treasure to organizations that we think can improve the lives o others.

The Austin Wildcats organization provides a wonderul story o learning by example.

This basketball program or girls and boys improves undamental skills and game knowl-

edge. It is a preparatory program with emphasis on practice, hard work, and dedication.

The program also teaches young people about lie.When Molly, Sherman, a riend o the program, was diagnosed with breast cancer, the

Wildcats girls teams did what they have seen adults do: they rallied together and raised

money. In 2011 they organized the irst Tournament or Hope. The girls and their sponsors raised $22,000

or the planned Breast Cancer Center at Seton Medical Center Austin.

This spring, the Tournament or Hope raised almost $45,000. This is an incredible example o the power

o teamwork and love.

It is wonderul to watch the next generation support women and men in our community who are living

withand ighting againstbreast cancer.

Thank you or all that you do to nurture and support the Seton Healthcare Family and the community that

we are privileged to serve.

Andrea McWilliamsCancer doesnt touch your life. It grabs you and throws

you down to the ground, says Andrea McWilliams,

breast cancer survivor, wife and mother of three.

Andrea was just 33 when she discovered a lumpon her breast that was later found to be cancerous. At

the time, Andrea had a newborn son and weeks laterdiscovered she was pregnant with her third child. After

seeking second opinions in Dallas and Houston, Andrea

underwent chemotherapy in Austin, returning to her

office every day after her infusion and tucking her chil-

dren into bed every night.

A respected lobbyist at the Texas Capitol, Andrea

is no stranger to advocacy and has made it her mission

to improve access to cancer care in Central Texas.

If we build a state-of-the-art cancer facility in one

of the coolest cities in the world, we can and will attract

the best doctors and researchers, she says.

Andrea is supporting the new breast cancer centerat Seton Medical Center Austin so that all women can

receive the best possible care close to home. She says,

We need a place in Central Texas where people can

be taken care of from the beginning to the end of their

cancer journey.

Sarah MansourMy diagnosis with breast cancer was a complete shock,

says Sarah Mansour, a cancer survivor of seven years. I was

39 years old, the mother of two young children and no one

in my family had ever had cancer of any kind.Sarah had an extremely aggressive form of cancer and

travelled to several cities before deciding on a treatmentprotocol. The whole ordeal was incredibly frightening and

confusing, Sarah recalls. We were overwhelmed with the

critical decisions that had to be made.

Sarah and her husband, Jimmy, the founding chairman

of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas,

are passionate supporters of the Breast Cancer Center at

Seton Medical Center Austin. They believe that Seton will

provide outstanding physicians to match the impressive

staff and advocates that are a part of the Seton team. They

also know that Central Texas women need and deserve a

state-of-the-art facility focused on this life-threatening,

but often treatable disease. The additional top-notchdoctors and equipment that Seton is putting in place will

give patients the confidence that they are getting the best

treatment available.

Austin is a city of amazing energy and people, Sarah

says. We can make this happen.

Molly ShermanMolly Sherman was working full-time and raising a

family as a single parent when she learned she had

breast cancer. As the mother of two sets of twins (ages

9 and 16 at the time of her diagnosis), Molly was com-mitted to finding the best possible care.

When I was diagnosed, I was overwhelmed by thetime and energy it took to navigate the web of doc-

tors, medical records and potential treatments, she

recalls. It was a stressful time. The last thing I wanted

to do was drive all over town tracking down medi-

cal records. Molly travelled to Houston for a second

opinion at MD Anderson Cancer Center. She chose to

undergo chemotherapy in Austin, and had her surgery

and reconstruction in Houston. Despite the long drive,

I determined that the efficiency of one-stop shopping

at MD Anderson was preferable to managing my own

network of physicians and treatments here in Austin.

Today, Molly is cancer-free and passionate aboutthe need for a comprehensive breast cancer center in

Austin. Women need a place where all the resources

come together, says Molly.

o From Bethesda to Austin the journey of one ofthe nations leading medical investigators and howhis teams research may change stroke care forever.

Steven Warach recently moved rom Bethesda to Austin to serve as the ounding

executive director o the Seton/UT Southwestern Clinical Research Insti tute. Heis an internationally renowned medical researcher who most recently served as

senior investigator or the Stroke Diagnostics and Therapeutics Section o the

Division o Intramural Research at the National Institutes o Health.

The new Clinical Research Institute will oversee growth and coordination o

Seton-based clinical research activities.

Question: You were a well-established academic with a great position at the National Institutes ofQuestion: You were a well-established academic with a great position at the National Institutes of

Health, so why relocate to Austin?Health, so why relocate to Austin?

Dr. Warach: The reason I dropped everything to move here is because something really remarkable

is happening here in health care in Central Texas. Senator Watsons 10 in 10 plan or health carewas the deciding actor or me. [see page 5]

What do you think is so remarkable about health care and research in Central Texas?What do you think is so remarkable about health care and research in Central Texas?

All aspects o the communitymedical, business, university, philanthropic, politicalare attuned to

the same purpose. It is clear to me that something great is going to happen here. There is a deep

commitment to growing academic medicine in Central Texas and landing a medical school.

What is your primary focus at the Clinical Research Institute?What is your primary focus at the Clinical Research Institute?

We plan to encourage and support those types o clinical investigators and research projects that

will immediately improve the practice o health care in our community. Our ocus will be transla-

tional research, also known as bench to bedside research.

How does this type of research benefit the average Texan?How does this type of research benefit the average Texan?

Clinical research at the cutting edge introduces new technologies, new therapies, new diagnostics

beore they are available to the rest o the world. Thats ultimately the value o clinical research,

improving the care in our community.

Do you have any clinical research projects that you plan to launch soon?Do you have any clinical research projects that you plan to launch soon?

Yes. One o my research interests involves placing mobile stroke units in ambulances. These units

include a CT scanner, blood lab and telemedicine/radiology needed to provide patients with the

most eective stroke therapy in the ield possible. This practice could save as much as an hour. With

strokes, every minute counts.

Only youcan makeit happen!St pas a md tac spta f AstOnce a big idea, the dream o a modern teaching

hospital ailiated with a medical school is now closer

to reality than ever beore. Recent major announce-

ments are ueling great excitement about the uture

o health care in Central Texas. In late April, the Seton

Healthcare Family pledged to replace University

Medical Center Brackenridge with a new, modern

teaching hospital. Philanthropy will play a pivotal

role in this project.

Less than two weeks later, The University o Texas

System Board o Regents conirmed what some have

dreamed o or years by passing a resolution to pro-

vide support to help und a medical school in Austin.

As a Seton supporter, you have the power to make

things happen. Your generosity, loyalty and unwav-

ering commitment to Central Texas are vital to

establishing the new Brackenridge as the teaching

hospital or our communitys uture.
