You are our hero, Brandon Rogers of the Midlothian Fire Department! Methodist Mansfield awarded Brandon with our Community Health Hero Award at a recent city council meeting.

You can't even buy Girl Scout cookies right now, but the emergency department at Methodist Richardson got their Thin Mint fix for free, thanks to Troop 2786!

We'll eat up that kind of support any day!
