San Antonio, TX – Methodist Healthcare Ministries (MHM)—the largest private funding source for healthcare services to the uninsured and under-served in South Texas and half owner of the Methodist Healthcare System, is proud to announce the Board of Directors has elected Mr. Scott Bryan to serve as Chair.
Bryan has served on the MHM Board of Directors since 2003, however, he and his family have a long and rich history of service to the organization, beginning with his father, the late Richard “Dick” Bryan who also served as Chair during his service to MHM.
“We are extremely proud to welcome Scott as Chair. I was privileged to serve under Dick Bryan’s leadership, and the example he set for us,” reflects Kevin C. Moriarty, MHM president and chief executive officer. “Like his father, Scott has demonstrated extraordinary leadership. From his role as Treasurer to Senior Vice Chair on the Board, Scott has helped to shape MHM into the organization we are today. Scott’s leadership will be invaluable as we navigate the challenges Texas is sure to face as it struggles to adapt to federal healthcare reform initiatives.”

The strength and vitality of this organization is in large part, a product of Dick’s leadership. I am extremely grateful to him and all the members of this board for their service to MHM. I am humbled to assume a position I know my father was proud to fulfill.”
