Phyllis Carlyle, chair of the Keep Tyler Beautiful Board, presented the “Beauty and Business Award” for the first quarter of 2013 to UT Health Northeast during a brief ceremony held Monday, March 25, 2013, in the facility’s new main lobby.
Keep Tyler Beautiful’s mission is to encourage the ongoing beautification of Tyler. Board members select businesses that show pride in their community and who strive to be good neighbors.
Ms. Carlyle presented UT Health Northeast President Dr. Kirk A. Calhoun with a framed certificate and yard sign naming UT Health Northeast as this quarter’s award winner.
"We are honored to receive this award from Keep Tyler Beautiful because it recognizes our efforts to preserve and maintain the scenic beauty that surrounds us," Dr. Calhoun said.
"At UT Health Northeast, our focus is on caring for the whole person. Studies show that patients with a view of nature tend to recover faster. Patients and visitors to our campus often comment on its beauty and how peaceful it is,” he added.
