JPS Health Network has been named a Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA) winner, marking the second consecutive year our health network has received this prestigious global recognition. In 2025, just 73 organizations worldwide earned this honor, with JPS standing out as one of only 7 U.S. health systems selected.

JPS Health Network proudly hosted its 2025 Research & Quality Symposium (RQS), an annual celebration of innovation, collaboration, and academic excellence in healthcare. Held on Wednesday, May 14, the event brought together researchers, clinicians, educators, and community partners for a dynamic day of poster sessions, rapid-fire presentations, topical breakout discussions, and awards recognizing exceptional contributions to research, education, and quality improvement.

When Kimberlea Williams walked into the emergency room with a persistent cough, she had no idea her life was about to change. After multiple visits and multiple diagnoses, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus infections, her condition worsened. In August 2018, she received life-altering news. She was told that she had stage four lung cancer, and it had already spread to her brain.

The JPS Health Network nursing team hosted a Nurse Award Celebration on Wednesday, May 7, to celebrate the talented and dedicated nurses at JPS. Each nurse was honored for the exceptional care they provide for patients and the positive impact they have on many lives. This year, the nursing team recognized the recipients of the Gold Stethoscope Award, which honors nurses who are committed to delivering outstanding clinical and compassionate care.

At JPS Health Network, we believe that healthcare isn’t just about medicine; it’s about transforming lives and communities. Our volunteers play a key role in this mission. They do more than assist, they bring warmth, compassion, and a personal touch that lifts patients, families, and team members. From guiding someone through the halls to offering a kind word or simply listening, volunteers help create a welcoming, healing environment that defines JPS.

JPS Health Network is redefining primary care by creating environments that inspire innovation and build patient trust. To meet the growing needs of the community, JPS recently opened Medical Home Southwest Tarrant – a thoughtfully designed facility that expands access to comprehensive, patient centered care. The new site now houses the relocated South Campus Health Center, offering a broader range of services in a welcoming environment.

We’re proud to celebrate the 101 JPS physicians who were named to the 2025 Fort Worth Magazine Top Doctors list.
