June 11, 2009
From a press release:
Earlier this month, Congress passed a bipartisan resolution designating 2009 the "Year of the Military Family" nationwide. In recognition of local military family members, Lee Woodruff, the New York Times best-selling author, family life contributor to ABC's "Good Morning America" and wife of gravely injured ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff, will share her insights on "Our Unsung Heroes: Military Families and Caregivers" on Wednesday, June 17, from 7-8 p.m. at Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby St., Houston 77002. A book-signing session will follow.
Following her memoir of healing In an Instant, coauthored with her husband, Lee recently published Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress for Random House. Lee and Bob have also established the Bob Woodruff Family Fund for Traumatic Brain Injury to raise money to assist members of the military with cognitive rehabilitation and other care needs following traumatic brain injury suffered in service to their country.
The evening with Lee Woodruff is free and open to all military family members and uniformed service retirees from throughout southeast Texas. To RSVP, call the US Family Health Plan, which delivers Department of Defense-sponsored healthcare benefits to local military families through CHRISTUS Health in Houston, toll-free at 1-888-780-1943 by Tuesday, June 16 at 5 p.m.
More than 12,000 military family members in this area receive their healthcare benefits through the US Family Health Plan network, which includes more than 800 physicians. The health plan recently added The Methodist Hospital and North Cypress Medical Center to its roster of participating hospitals, increasing local military families' access to convenient, quality healthcare services.
