Dorothy is a fabulous ambassador for the Rose in the corporate community, and I was sold after meeting Dorothy . Addressing the disparities in Houston, in Texas, the disparities in access to health care. Dorothy is passionate, lives and breathes that mission. I joined the Board, became the Chair. I am going to be, am a lifelong supporter of the Rose.

Dorothy: Why did you choose the Rose when there’s so many non profits out there and you could have chosen any one of them?

Theresa: I was drawn to, of course, there’s a wide network of safety [00:02:00] net health care organizations, not wide enough, but I was drawn to the Rose and was able to see personally the, um, efficiency and passion of the Rose team.

There are so many people in need and they become, we help them become, uh, Self sufficient, healthy, and they join us in giving back to the community, so it’s a double win.
