South Texas Engagement Series. Through this award Methodist Healthcare Ministries convened patients and key stakeholders across a 20-county area to develop a coordinated regional approach for patient-centered research and evaluation among university systems, academic institutions, managed care organizations, and public health systems. The Advancing Health in South Texas Engagement Series aimed to create a safe space to facilitate meaningful dialogue between people and institutional systems to ensure trusted relationships are formed, information is shared, and all voices are engaged in the planning and co-creating of solutions. The series also aimed to identify and adopt multi-sector strategies based on differentiated but aligned activities and a common framework.

The What Matters to You? (February 2016) series consisted of six, two-hour focus groups in Cameron, Hidalgo, Jim Wells, Nueces, Webb and Zavala counties. These sessions solicited community feedback to frame and shape conversations among academic institutions, managed care organizations, and public health systems. The sessions gathered valuable patient feedback regarding what patients identify and define as important health issues for their communities.
