JUST IN: Lizzie Horchow Routman To Chair New UT Southwestern President’s Advisory Board

Feb 8, 2017 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

UT Southwestern President Dr. Daniel Podolsky has a marvelous talent for surrounding himself with very smart people. From the six Nobel Prize winners on staff to the 2,800-member faculty, Daniel has quite a team to provide for the millions of patients receiving health care at the institution.

So, it is no surprise that he’s expanded his resources by tapping local leadership to provide “fresh perspectives to the Medical Center.” It was just announced that he has launched a President’s Advisory Board “to support its institutional mission and ambitious agenda.”

And to head up this board, Daniel has picked philanthropist Elizabeth “Lizzie” Horchow Routman, who has proven herself on such boards as The Dallas Foundation, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, Visiting Nurses Association and The Hockaday School, to name a few.

And when it comes to UT Southwestern, Lizzie is certainly no newbie, having been a member since 1997 of the Southwestern Medical Foundation Board of Trustees, where she has served on the executive committee and as nominating committee chair.

She and her family have been longtime supporters of UT Southwestern, providing everything from art collections to financial support including a million dollars for the William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital for decades. In fact, Lizzie’s mother, the late Carolyn Horchow, founded the Carolyn P. Horchow Women’s Health Symposium in 1999 at UT Southwestern.

According to Daniel, “Having known Lizzie for many years and witnessed her leadership skills and dedication to UT Southwestern’s mission, I have the utmost confidence in her ability to engage and inspire fellow members of the inaugural President’s Advisory Board.”

Made up of various leaders from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the Board will meet three times a year and will “provide President Podolosky and Medical Center administration with guidance on the opportunities and challenges the Institution faces across all three parts of its mission – clinical care, education, and research. Board members will have both a voice and a platform as UT Southwestern’s advocates for population health issues, standard-bearers for clinical excellence, and proponents for scientific breakthroughs.”
