Visionaries

“We learned how very easy it is to leave your competitive pressures at the door because at the end of the day, our mission was the same…at the end of the day, our goals were the same…and at the end of the day, it was all about the community.”

—Geoff Crabtree,
Founding Board Member and
President of the Board of Directors,
The Health Collaborative
Senior Vice President, Methodist Healthcare

 

“The unique thing about it was that we weren’t talking about our services, we weren’t talking about our programs. We were talking about people in need, and when the focus got back to where the needs are, there was a lot of common ground.

The Health Collaborative is one of the best things that ever happened to San Antonio. That’s because the people really care about the health status of the community and the health status of future generations.”

—Theresa De La Haya, RN, MPH,
Past president, Board of Directors,
