Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Patient Care
By giving to this fund, you will support patient care programs and other activities at Methodist Richardson Medical Center, all of which contribute to the hospital’s mission in delivering compassionate, quality healthcare.
Center for Surgery and Digestive Diseaes
Methodist Richardson Medical Center is leading efforts to develop a comprehensive, patient-centered facility for diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary (HPB) cancers and other digestive disorders. A first for North Texas, this center will bring together world renowned surgeons, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, radiologists, oncologists, a team of specialized nurses, and other healthcare providers dedicated to the long-term care of patients with digestive disorders.
Artist-in-Residence Program
The Artist-in-Residence program began in the Cancer Center in June 2012. The program aims to help patients, their families, and caregivers discover their own creative resources as antidotes to the fear, isolation, and boredom that often accompany a cancer diagnosis. The Artist-in-Residence Program is fully funded by the Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation.
Massage Therapy at the Cancer Center
Massage Therapy is provided for patients currently under treatment, and it is also available for their families and caregivers. Benefits of massage include releasing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, helping to alleviate pain, and promoting rest and sleep. The Massage Therapy Program is fully funded by the Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
