Dallas - Fort Worth Metro Publisher
What’s your favorite memory working for CI? LL: Day two of the Plano paper hitting homes for the first time ... I sat at a temporary desk in our new DFW headquarters—we had just moved in—and took phone calls and fielded emails for eight hours straight. People had just received us for the first time and were excited to share feedback and ask questions. It was clear we had a bright future here! Days like that are repeated, in some form, every time we enter a new community, and it’s energizing and rewarding for our team after all the hard work that goes into growth.
Aside from Community Impact, what have you read recently? LL: I’ve leaned into podcasts. Anything by Malcolm Gladwell or Adam Grant is on my “must listen to” list. Email newsletters are booming for CI; why should readers subscribe? LL: Who doesn’t want to be the smartest and most informed person in their neighborhood?! We hear from our subscribers that the Morning Impact’s quick, simple content pieces fuel their day with awareness. The emails are really useful and help them feel connected.
How do you spend your free time in the area? LL: It’s changed over the years as my husband and I age. We used to go out almost every weekend to hear live local music at all the fun venues around town. Nowadays it’s youth sports fields and children’s theater with the kids. We’re sporty and artsy, and DFW has so much to offer.

News from Lewisville & Coppell ISDs and Denton County
HIGHLIGHTS DENTON COUNTY In April, students across the county and state began standardized testing through a completely online format for the first time after legislators called for a revamped test in 2019. The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness now test students beginning in third grade online. In addition to switching the traditionally pencil-to-paper test to a completely online format, the redesigned test also features more question varieties and changes to written essay prompts. “The goal for the redesign was to align the assessment closer to the classroom experience,” a TEA spokesperson said in a May 5 email. “Nearly 80% of STAAR tests were administered online last year, so school systems already had a degree of familiarity.” Lewisville ISD board of trustees will meet at 6 p.m. Aug. 14 at 1565 W.

The electric utility company is said to be seeking a $14.8 million increase in distribution revenues. Coppell city officials can now work with other cities in the company’s service areas, and the coalition will evaluate the filing, determine whether it complies with the law, then determine the best course of action to keep distribution rates as low as possible, according to council notes. Texas-New Mexico Power filed an application for approval to amend its distribution cost recovery factor April 5, according to city documents. Lewisville City Council also denied the proposal at their May 15 meeting.

that have adequate visibility and access from public streets or pri- vate vehicular routes, according to the agenda item. Live-work units will be allowed for up to 40% of the ground floor in portions of the building that have adequate visibility and access from public streets or private vehicular routes. The units must have 50% of their exterior frontage consisting of the commercial component, cannot be leased separately, and must have the residential and commercial portions occupied by the same tenant, according to officials. The ordinance defines a live- work unit as a single multifamily unit with both residential and commercial or office components occupied by the same tenant. The unit must be the occupant’s primary dwelling. “This just makes sense,” Coun- cil Member Kristin Green said.

LEWISVILLE Council recently took action that will help ensure The Realm at Castle Hills has a balanced mix of residential and commercial after approving an ordinance May 15 that defines and provides regulations for live- work units.

COPPELL After nine years of service, Council Member Cliff Long has stepped down to focus on other endeavors. Long did not seek re-election to Place 1 in the May 6 election. Jim Walker was elected to the seat and sworn in May 23. Walker served on the Coppell Planning and Zoning Commission prior to joining council. Long ran unopposed for the then-vacant Place 1 position and was elected in 2014. He served as mayor pro tem from 2018-19. Long said in a news release that his desire to focus his time on turning the Coppell Historical Society’s Heritage Park into an official museum influenced his decision to not seek re-election.

also operates mobile blood drives throughout the region. In addition to being used for emergencies, blood must be readily available for medical procedures, Black said. This includes treatments for major crash and severe trauma patients, those undergoing cancer treatments and more. Potential donors can learn more about donating blood at www.carterbloodcare.org. Donors can schedule appointments to donate blood, plasma or platelets at any of Carter BloodCare’s locations. Donors must be age 16 or older, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in general good health, according to Carter BloodCare’s website. The closest donation center for Lewisville and Coppell residents is the Carter BloodCare location in Flower Mound, located at 2601 Flower Mound Road.
With students out of school for summer break in local districts— and families preparing for vacations—Car- ter BloodCare o cials are reminding people to continue donating blood when they can. Since high school blood drives, speci cally, account for about 25% of the region’s blood supply, donations typically drop as students go on sum- mer break, said James Black, Carter BloodCare senior public relations specialist, in an email. The demand for blood, platelets and plasma “never takes a break though,” he said. “Summer is a crucial time for the local blood supply,” Black said. Carter BloodCare is a nonpro t operating more than 20 donor centers throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including locations in Frisco, McKinney, Plano and Flower Mound, according to its website.

BABY BOOM Medical City Lewisville is delivering more babies as Denton County’s population grows. The hospital saw a 31% increase in deliveries from 2018-2022.
Addressing growth Medical City Lewisville is see- ing more patients as Denton Coun- ty’s population continues to grow, Walker said. The number of babies born at the hospital has steadily increased over the last three years. There were 1,863 babies delivered at Medical City Lewisville last year, according to hospital data. Infants are relocated to the over- flow room whenever the NICU reaches capacity, Cates said. While babies receive the same level of care, it lacks some of the equipment and features available in the main NICU, she added. For example, the over- flow room is not compatible with a web-based program that allows fam- ilies to see their babies at all times via camera. The NICU expansion gives staff ive additional beds with the oppor- tunity to touch lives in the commu- nity, Neonatal Program Coordinator Jamie Aponte said in an email. “Having a baby in the NICU is not ever something anyone plans and can be a stressful time for parents,” she said. “Our hope with this reno- vation and expansion is that we can give [patients] a peaceful, calm and comfortable environment for their experience so they can focus on bonding and the joys of new life.” The project will also address the hospital’s internal growth. The labor and delivery unit’s nursing station will be expanded to alleviate crowd- ing, for example. The women’s services department has 130 employees. The hospital is anticipated to see a 10%-15% growth in its number of employees because of this project, Cates said. The department also plans to add two
obstetrician providers. Cates said the hospital is always looking for experienced nurses as well as new nurses. Medical City Lewisville also has an internship program and partners with Galen College of Nursing, which plans to open its irst North Texas campus in Richardson this summer. The upcoming renovation and expansion project will help keep Medical City Lewisville competitive, Walker said. “Our patients have choices on where they’re going to go, so we want to make sure that we’re also up to date on everything,” he said. Providing quality care Medical City Lewisville continues to be a destination for moms seeking care, hospital of icials said. The hospital has consistently received high marks for its wom- en’s and neonatal services. For eight consecutive years, the hospital has held Healthgrades 5-star awards for C-section and vaginal deliveries. Medical City Lewisville became the irst and only hospital in Denton County to receive an of icial NICU designation from the Texas Depart- ment of State Health Services in 2018. It is the second-highest level of neonatal care that can be pro- vided to critically ill infants. The NICU expansion will not impact the hospital’s Level III rating, however. One factor that drives Medical City Lewisville’s growth is its abil- ity to add new services, Walker said. The department recently added 24/7 in-house obstetricians. This will help move its maternity program from Level II to Level III. The hospital’s NICU added total body cooling therapy last year,

seeing in the community.” Both units are due for upgrades, Women’s Services Director Deb Cates said. The NICU has not been reno- vated since it was built in 2001, while the last major labor and delivery construction project took place that same year. The labor and delivery waiting room will be upgraded to look more welcoming, Cates said. The NICU will also have a dedicated space for families. The upcoming project is a continu- ation of the hospital’s investment in women’s services, hospital o cials said. “We de nitely want to be the des- tination of choice for health care in Denton County,” Cates said.
Medical City Lewisville’s upcoming project is its latest investment in women’s services.

which helps prevent long-term injury. It is the only Denton County hospital that offers it, and it allows babies to remain close to their fami- lies, Cates said. “When this particular kind of issue would come up with a delivery, we would have to transfer that baby out,” she said. “Just like with stroke patients … we want to protect that brain and get them started on their cooling process as soon as possible.” Denton County resident Nikki John- son spent a week in the hospital last
mother/baby unit after she delivered. Once the upcoming project is com- pleted, labor and delivery patients will receive the same enhanced care. “If you have to spend eight days in the hospital, you want to be comfort- able,” she said. “Nobody ever thinks that the hospital stay is comfortable but they made me as comfortable as I possibly could be.” Aponte said she is most excited about the sound absorbing abilities that will come with the new flooring. “Research has found that infants

these infants do not tolerate noise well, so having the addition of the sound absorbing ooring is huge.” The success of women’s services ultimately feeds into the hospital’s other service lines, Walker said. “We’ve always seen the research that shows women make the decision for where their family goes to receive health care,” he said. “As we grow our women’s program, other service lines grow with it.”
