HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM CATHY: Our front-page story this month in our annual Health Care Edition takes a look at the $16 million investment being made to enhance women’s services at Medical City Lewisville, including the expansion of its neonatal intensive care unit and renovation of the labor and delivery unit. We’ve also included a community guide with information on where to find the closest hospital or clinic, coverage on local health demographics, and more starting on Page 11. We’re fortunate in Lewisville and Coppell to have access to exceptional health care providers. Cathy Williams, GENERAL MANAGER

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.
