ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Health Resources is proud to be recognized as a Texan by Nature 20 (TxN 20) industry leader in sustainability and conservation for the eighth consecutive year.

“At Texas Health, our Mission is to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve, and that commitment extends beyond the walls of our facilities,” said Winjie Miao, CEO of Texas Health. “Every effort to conserve resources, foster healthy environments and build resilient communities helps advance our Mission. We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being.”

Texan by Nature (TxN) is a nonprofit organization founded by former first lady Laura Bush to bring conservation and business together for the benefit of Texas. The TxN 20 honor recognizes the best and most innovative conservation work in the state. Honorees represent 13 industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, food distribution, banking and retail.

“Sustainability is about supporting well-being and strengthening resilience for future generations,” said Shaun Clinton, senior vice president of Supply Chain Management for Texas Health.

“Healthcare systems are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change through responsible operations, thoughtful resource stewardship and collaborative partnerships. At Texas Health, we invest in initiatives that improve health, conserve resources and benefit communities across North Texas.”

 

Texas Health advances sustainability through water conservation, energy efficiency and community health programs. Since 2015, the organization has conserved more than 138 million gallons of water. As the system expands access to care, Texas Health is also investing in energy-efficient technologies, including LED upgrades that will reduce energy use and support a healthier environment.

Through Texas Health Community Hope, the organization has distributed more than 2.6 million pounds of produce to residents across North Texas since 2020 through food access programs, urban farms and school gardens.

Texas Health employees play an active role in sustainability through conservation-focused responsibilities and community service. Employees logged more than 14,000 volunteer hours across 730 community service projects in 2025, including tending to pollinator gardens and supporting food recovery programs that reduce food waste by delivering past-prime fruits and vegetables from regional grocery chains to participating urban farms that use it as compost.
