I want to thank Patti Monczewski for all she has done for PRMC and we wish her all the best.”

During his time at the 199-bed Southwestern Medical Center, Steve Hyde and his team have overseen some significant success.

The hospital has also seen significant growth over the last seven years with outpatient visits up 45% and surgeries up 61%. According to Steve Hyde, “My family and I are very excited about this new opportunity. It comes at a perfect crossroads, both personally and professionally. One of our daughters is graduating from high school this spring; while the other will be completing middle school and preparing to enter high school. We have an outstanding, very stable leadership team at Southwestern Medical Center so I know that I am leaving that facility in a great place as we turn our attention to the great opportunity in Paris. I have heard so many good things about the employees and physicians here and I look forward to getting with acquainted with the team. We have family in the Metroplex so a great byproduct of the move to Paris is that we will be closer to them.”
