Texas Capital Bank announces $100,000 donation to Parkland Health & Hospital System
Published on Mar 23, 2020
DALLAS (March 23, 2020) Texas Capital Bank announced today a $100,000 donation to assist Parkland Health & Hospital System with expediting COVID-19 testing services and support frontline caretakers and patients needing continual monitoring.
The donation will be used by Parkland Foundation’s Public Health Preparedness Fund to provide hospital personnel with needed medical supplies and equipment, including additional machines for coronavirus testing. It also will be used to help provide space for monitoring patients; lodging to allow critical caregivers to remain close to family members receiving treatment; and community screening for COVID-19 via mobile care vans.
Texas Capital Bank also is deploying its Mobile Center, a custom-made community service vehicle, to Parkland’s mobile testing site located at the Ellis Davis Field House. Parkland began COVID-19 testing at this site on March 22. The bank’s Mobile Center will serve as a space of refuge for medical staff to rest in a private area with fully equipped facilities. It also may be used as an additional testing site, if needed.
“Texas Capital Bank has been a long-standing champion of Parkland Health & Hospital System,” said Michael Horne, president and CEO of Parkland Foundation. “The company’s values embody service, compassion and leadership—values that are critical as our community comes together to address this public health challenge.”
This donation and Mobile Center deployment represent the first phase of Texas Capital Bank’s contributions to help with community efforts related to COVID-19.
“As the COVID-19 crisis continues to escalate in our community, we believe it is essential to provide access to services for our most vulnerable individuals and also to take care of the medical staff who work tirelessly to help people in need,” said Effie Dennison, executive vice president and director of community development and corporate social responsibility at Texas Capital Bank.
Parkland is offering drive-through COVID-19 testing by appointment only for current Parkland patients who meet the medically necessary criteria with a Parkland physician’s order. Parkland patients can contact the COVID-19 Patient Line at 214-590-8060. Updates on COVID-19 in Dallas County are available from Dallas County Health and Human Services.
