Hospital holds ceremony to celebrate name change

From a press release:

Renaissance Hospital Houston (www.renhealthcare.org [1]), located at 2807 Little York Road, is changing its name to St. Anthony’s Hospital, according to Jason Fisher, CEO.

Fisher and his partner Stephanie Victorian, Chief Nursing Officer of St. Anthony’s Hospital, are heading up the 39-bed hospital and will expand medical and clinical staffs. Renaissance Hospital-Houston is one of nearly 5,000 that U.S. News evaluated for the latest America’s Best Hospitals rankings.

“St. Anthony’s is the only hospital located right in this northeast-Little York corridor and our goal is to establish this hospital as one of quality care the community can count on for emergencies, as well as traditional services that will range from bariatrics to orthopedics and pain management,” said Fisher.

“Even as we expand, integrating exciting new technologies into St. Anthony’s, we will never lose sight of our priority: our patients. Our mission is to demonstrate our commitment to the improvement of human life by delivering quality healthcare services with kindness and compassion,” added Fisher.

Fisher, a Baylor University graduate, has spent his whole career in the medical field. He was with Northstar Healthcare Inc., as the VP of Physician Services before joining St. Anthony’s. He is a diligent defender of patients’ rights and has worked with multiple medical businesses in the Houston, Dallas and Austin market.

WestMed–owned hospitals, including St. Anthony’s and South Hampton Community Hospital in the Dallas Metroplex, are managed by Austin-based Arise Healthcare Management.

On Feb. 15, President’s Day, from 12 noon until 2 PM, St. Anthony’s will host a ribbon-cutting with the Houston-Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce; a Health & Wellness Informational Clinic for area parents and their children; snacks and entertainment.

The popular Rosita’s Mexican Restaurant will be grilling burgers for the event.

Special invitations have gone out to students at nearby Garcia Elementary, Walter W. Scarborough Elementary, Ethel R. Coop Elementary and Patrick Henry Middle School to attend the special event with their families.
