The Texas Health Resources (THR) Board of Trustees has named Bishop Mike Lowry, episcopal leader of the Central Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church, as one of three new members to the board.

All three will serve three-year terms.
In addition to the newest members of the board being named, THR also announced that John R. (Bob) Ferguson III and Wesley R. (Wes) Turner have been elected to serve two-year leadership terms and to help establish the strategic direction for the largest faith-based health care system in North Texas in terms of patients served.
Mr. Ferguson, retired managing director and a board member of TDIndustries, Inc., was elected as the board’s chair. He previously served as board vice chair and succeeds Anne T. Bass as board chair. Mr. Turner, an executive with Advance Newspapers and former publisher of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, was selected as vice chair.
